Resumo: | Armenians have increasingly been eliminated from the weaving history of the Caucasus. Given that Armenians have lived there for millennia and are its only inhabitants attested in both ancient and medieval sources as having been weavers and dyers, it is surely curious they would have abandoned a craft for which they were renowned. Many regional rugs were originally attributed to Armenian weavers, but from the second quarter of the 20th century onwards were reclassified as being either of Turkish (Azeri) or Persian origin. This article reconsiders the available evidence and the way it has been interpreted to arrive at a balanced assessment of Armenians’ contribution to the production of Dragon carpets, the region’s earliest surviving design. Its findings challenge many of the assumptions upon which these conclusions were based, and thus revives the possibility the attributions of earlier authors were more accurate than those of their successors.

Dado que os arménios viveram na região durante milénios e são os únicos habitantes reconhecidos como tecelões e tintureiros em fontes da Antiguidade e da Idade Média, é certamente curioso que tenham abandonado uma actividade pela qual foram tão famosos. Inicialmente, muitos tapetes da região foram atribuídos a tecelões arménios, mas, desde o segundo quartel do século XX, foram reclassificados como sendo de origem turca (azeri) ou persa. Este artigo reconsidera a evidência disponível, e o modo como esta tem sido interpretada, para chegar a uma avaliação ponderada sobre a contribuição do povo arménio para a produção de tapetes de dragão, o mais antigo padrão conhecido da região. Os resultados desafiam muitas das suposições sobre as quais têm sido baseadas aquelas conclusões e, deste modo, recupera a possibilidade de as atribuições feitas pelos primeiros autores serem mais rigorosas do que as feitas pelos seus sucessores.
