A mountainous region encompassing the land between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, the Caucasus, covering modern day Georgia, Daghestan, Armenia, the disputed region of Ngorno Karabagh and Azerbaijan, has been the origin of some of the finest and most sought after carpet weaving of the 19th and 20th century. The Azeri Turks, Kurds, Armenians and Daghestanis are the primary weavers of both carpets and kilims.
