"The term Chirvan refers both to a type of carpet and to a region where a large number of carpets are produced. It is a vast, mountainous region inhabited by a heterogeneous population. It stretches from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea, forming a natural barrier between Europe and Asia. Chirvans carpets are knotted in towns (Kouba, Daghestan, etc.) and villages (Tchi tchi, lesghi, seikour, Pérépédil.....). Bibliographical reference : - SABAHI, T. - Splendeurs des tapis d'Orient Éd.
