Caucasian Karabakh Kilim – Gol Farangi Medallion design | Floral All Wool

A kilim from a small group of south Caucasian palas (covers in kelim technique) made in the Karabakh area by Armenian weavers, all of which have huge 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.
