Description
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.
Condition is very good, with a soft wool and medium pile height. Fringes are original and sides are too in lots of areas, some preservation restoration to the sides to secure them has been completeted, plus minimal repair work in the main field of the rug. A really wonderful example.
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.

From South Caucasus these rugs are famed for their rich colours, assertive, geometric drawing and bold large-scale designs. They are sought after by collectors for their rugged authenticity. While Kazak carpets may have allover patterns, they are best known for their monumental and graphic medallion compositions, especially the Sevan and Karachoff types.
