Chukhanlu carpets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chukhanlu carpets - are a type of carpet with a rich and ancient history belonging to the Shirvan group of Azerbaijan's Guba-Shirvan carpet weaving center.
These carpets were primarily produced in carpet weaving centers, predominantly in the ancient district of Shamakhi, known as Gobustan. The name of the carpet is derived from the village of Çukhanlu, located 13 km southeast of Shamakhi. Formerly known as "Kabristan," "Gabristan," "Maraza," or "Chukhan," these carpets gained fame as "Chukhanlu" from the second half of the 18th century onwards.[1]
