Deep in the Ismayilli mountains lies Lahij, a living museum where the rhythmic sound of copper being hammered has echoed through the streets for over a thousand years. This is the birthplace of legendary Caucasian copperware, once traded across the entire Silk Road.
The Collectors Expedition
We arrange private meetings with 7th-generation master smiths in their historic workshops. Discover the symbolism engraved into every bowl and dagger, and learn about the ancient water and sewage systems that were centuries ahead of their time. This is a rare opportunity to acquire authentic heritage art directly from the hands that created it, in a setting of breathtaking mountain beauty.
