Antique Kazak rug with a vivid red background with a soft blue border, a striking Caucasian Karachoff rug which has an unmistakeable design. Woven with lots of interest, look for the people and animals in the design. Woven by Armenian weavers in the mountains of the Caucasus, they are full of interesting motifs, often the rectangular medallion design as we see here. With four rams horn style box motifs, full of stars and rosette motifs (often seen in Talish weavings.) The natural dyes have faded, yet retained their beauty and create a collectable and exciting 140 year old Caucasian rug.
Rugs bearing the name Kazak come from the highland area of the Caucasus in Azerbaijan whose centre is the town of Kazak. Woven by semi-nomadic shepherds of the region. They use fabulous vegetable dyes and high quality hand spun wool from their own herd. Depending on the weave some Kazak rugs can be extremely soft to handle as the wool is light and woven on a supple foundation.
We offer the service of viewing any of our antique rugs in situ or at our barn showroom by appoint. Please request a home visit to view this exceptional antique rug at home soon, or contact us for more info.
