Ancient Shirvan (or Schirvan) carpets are among the most fascinating, refined, and collectible artifacts of the entire Caucasus production. Woven in the eponymous region, which today lies in eastern Azerbaijan (between the Caspian Sea and the Kura River), these carpets stand out clearly from other Caucasian types (such as Kazaks or Karabakh) for the precision of the design and the fineness of the workmanship.

I tappeti Shirvan (o Schirvan) antichi sono tra i manufatti più affascinanti, raffinati e collezionati dell'intera produzione del Caucaso. Annodati nell'omonima regione che oggi si trova nell'Azerbaigian orientale (tra il Mar Caspio e il fiume Kura), questi tappeti si distinguono nettamente dalle altre tipologie caucasiche (come i Kazak o i Karabagh) per la precisione del disegno e la finezza della manifattura.
