Azari Rugs occupy a distinct place within the rich tapestry of Caucasian weaving, shaped by generations of Azerbaijani artisans working in the northwest Iran region. At the heart of their appeal is the use of strong geometric motifs, often presented through bold medallion designs or highly structured fields. These elements are not only decorative but also convey a sense of order and rhythm unique to the Azerbaijan weaving heritage.

Most handmade Azari carpets feature a tightly controlled approach to composition, with diamond, octagonal, and cruciform patterns arranged in confident symmetry. Both kilim and pile techniques are represented across this collection, reflecting a versatility that has emerged from a long-standing weaving tradition. Naturally dyed wool, primarily sourced locally and coloured with plant-based substances, gives Azari rugs their signature clarity and depth of tone. These qualities help underline the aesthetic distinction between Azari Persian rugs and the work of other regional groups.

For those in the UK seeking pieces that lend authenticity and visual structure to contemporary or period interiors, a vintage Azari rug or Azerbaijani rug offers a compelling choice. The balance of practical durability and expressive surface pattern makes them well suited for living spaces, studies, or entrance halls. Each selection in this collection reveals aspects of Azerbaijan’s textile story, from material sourcing to the transfer of technique across generations.
