These are are rare weavings which were brought to Canada by the Doukhobors in 1899, originating from the Caucasus. Turkish, Armenian and Tatar influences can be seen in the patterns of these items. Rare artifacts, over a hundred and twenty years old, they are organically dyed and made from wool and hemp. Because of their rarity and value, prices are negotiable. Contact us with an offer. 

​

On arrival in Canada, floor looms were  constructed and soon rugs were being produced to serve the households. The rugs were produced in various lengths and widths. Colours were dictated by the organic dyes used. Now, only a few Doukhobors maintain this craft.
