Quba Red 3834

Quba carpets are traditional handwoven rugs from the Quba region in northeastern Azerbaijan, known for their distinct designs, high quality, and intricate craftsmanship. With a rich history dating back several centuries, Quba has long been a center of carpet-making in Azerbaijan. These carpets are characterized by geometric patterns, including medallions, diamond shapes, and intricate borders, often featuring floral motifs, stars, and stylized animals that carry symbolic meaning in Azerbaijani culture. The color palette is vibrant, with deep reds, blues, greens, and earthy tones, traditionally derived from natural dyes. Made primarily from hand-spun wool, which is both durable and soft, Quba carpets are woven using the symmetrical knot technique, resulting in tightly woven, detailed designs. These carpets hold significant cultural value and are often used as decorative items in homes, given as gifts, or used in ceremonial contexts. Today, Quba carpets are highly valued by collectors and are seen as a representation of Azerbaijani craftsmanship and cultural heritage. Regional variations exist within Quba, with some villages, like Konaghend, producing their own distinctive styles.
