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.
