Kazakh Russian: hand-knotted rugs originating from the region located north and west of Lake Sevan, in the southwestern part of the Caucasus. Originally, these rugs were named after the village of Kazakh (Azerbaijan), where they were produced until around 1925. They are the most well-known and appreciated among Caucasian rugs. They are characterized, among other features, by a long velvet and by sometimes having up to eight warp threads between their rows of knots. These relatively loosely knotted rugs have a high-quality wool velvet, which gives them good durability. Most are approximately dozar size (about 200 x 120 cm), and their width is often remarkable compared to their length. The colors are vivid, and the motifs are large and original.
