$8,800.00

An antique Caucasian Kazak rug from the 1890s, The piece measures approximately 4'0" × 7'7" (per the seller listing) — a tribal scatter-size proportion well suited to use beside a bed, in an entry, or layered over a larger neutral rug. The composition centers on a blue-toned medallion, a less common motif than the more familiar diamond-lattice and stepped-cross designs of the Kazak tradition. Kazak rugs come from the southwestern Caucasus, where village and tribal weavers worked in wool from large-scale geometric vocabularies that have remained one of the most identifiable formats of antique Caucasian carpet. Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique. Natural dyes.
