Ardēan

St. Karapet monastery of Mush was one of the most well known and oldest monasteries in Western Armenia. It was considered as the 2nd biggest spiritual center after Echmiadzin. This monastery complex consists of churches and chapels. For ages, it served as an educational, writing and cultural center until its destruction in the early 20th century. Inspired by its eminence and distinction, ornaments of the remaining pieces were used in this work.

Queens have played proactive and vital roles throughout the Armenian history. They have not only been the faithful spouses and close supporters of the kings but often their worthy advisors. Armenian wise and prudent queens were highly influential in the critical periods of the country’s history. They advocated causes such as women’s education, freedom, and equality, even in the middle ages. Additionally, they were the primary promoters of cultural values. Ardēan designed shawls with Armenian ornaments and slices from St. Gregory of Narek’s prayers to embody the spirit of our queens’ nobility and splendor.

The architectural complex of Gandzasar, with its magnificent natural surroundings, is one of the most striking treasures of the Armenian’s millennial architectural heritage. Gandzasar, with its distinct beauty, is well known in Artsakh as a masterpiece of national architecture.

The construction of Gandzasar’s Cathedral of St. John the Baptist began in 1216, under the patronage of the Armenian prince of Khachen. It was completed in 1238. Its significance is further emphasized by hundreds of other monuments of the surrounding area.

Early Kutahya Armenian tiles were composed of white and blue colors only. To develop and enrich their work, the Armenian masters merged yellow, green, and Armenian red colors in their artwork during the 17th century.

To create this scarf, we used tiles that had origins from Kutahya that later were transported to Jerusalem by Armenian families, which became known as “Jerusalem tiles.” We also used embroidery, which is unique in the Armenian culture.

This scarf is made of 100% silk.
