A compilation of links I am interested in reading.
Should be some interesting reads on the history and iconography of Armenian rugs.

I'll add to this list as I find more.

Enjoy!

(short read, but good info.
Take away:
Some weavers recreated older pieces from memory! Or, they have the original beside them.
Eastern vs. western Armenian weavers: looms are either vertical (Western Armenia) or horizontal (some provinces in Eastern Armenia).
Most Armenian weavers use the Turkish (Symmetric) knots vs. Eastern Armenian rug weavers use Persian (Asymmetric) knots
