Pazyryk Collection
The Pazyryk Carpet is the oldest known hand-knotted rug in the world, dating back to the 5th century BCE. Discovered in the frozen tombs of the Altai Mountains in Siberia, it was remarkably preserved in ice for over 2,000 years.
This Anatolian-origin carpet features intricate geometric and animal motifs, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and artistic complexity. Woven using the symmetrical Turkish (Gördes) knot, it is a powerful testament to the deep-rooted rug-making tradition of Central Asia and Anatolia.
The Pazyryk is not just a rug — it is a historical artifact that links ancient nomadic cultures with the enduring legacy of textile art.
