Unusual Caucasian Karabakh Kilim
Rug #1610Gol Farangi Kilim Medallion design | Floral All Wool
The term Gol Farangi literally means foreign flower, seemingly based on motifs or patterns seen in 18th and 19th century French Savonnerie and Aubusson carpets. The orientalised design is dominated by stylised, rectilinear cabbage roses invariably seen in clusters of three flower heads and related foliage.
A south Caucasian palas (cover in kelim technique) made in the Karabakh area probably woven by Armenian weavers which display floral bouquets and wreaths in Western style. The appearance of this version of the gol farangi in this part of the world is not without interest. It was probably not copied directly from French models but from Ukrainian or even Russian carpets that were woven in the French style for the local population, which could not afford the originals. As the Russians moved ever southwards in their conquest of the Caucasus, the army commanders and senior civil servants who administered these newly annexed territories commissioned carpets and textiles in the French style from the local weavers who copied them not from originals but from the Polish and Russian versions.
Gol Farangi Kilim. This piece was handwoven in Karabakh, South Caucasus. For further information please contact us and our team will be pleased to assist you. All pieces in the collection are under the auspices of Essie Sakhai, one of the world’s foremost experts and collectors of fine handmade Persian rugs and carpets.
