A little bit of history:
Kubachi is known not only for its exotic location. The craftsmanship of the local metal-chasing and inlay-carving goldsmiths has been existing for ages. Kubachi masters form the shapeless pieces of silver and gold into the beautiful articles of amazingly delicate work with the weaved intricate lines, patterns and mysterious colors.
Once upon time the Iranians had heard of the famous goldsmiths living far away in the distant Dagestan Mountains who had created the glory by their hands. The wisest men of Iran summoned the council and decided to send their representative to Dagestan masters with the silver thread which was thinner than the autumn web and lighter than the sun ray. The Iranian addressed the mountaineers with the words: “The Persian jewelers wonder if Kubachi people can carve the same thin thread. Over the night the Kubachi inhabitants drilled the Iranian silver thread through and in the morning handed it in to the envoy with a short note saying: “We have been making water pipes of it here”.
Since the old times Kubachi inhabitants have been honoured as the passionate antiquarians. They made trips to the Eastern countries to buy rare china and rare things made of it.
