Red Color Solid Open Field Mid 19th Century Tribal Geometric Caucasian Kazak Carpet

$13,000.00

This mid-nineteenth-century tribal antique Caucasian carpet is a powerful monument to the "Architectural Minimalist" tradition of the high Caucasus Mountains. While most antique tribal Caucasian Kazak rugs are famous for their dense, explosive geometric medallions, this specimen is a significantly rarer find—a "Solid Open Field" design. This intentional use of negative space was often a stylistic choice reserved for the most confident weavers, allowing the sheer quality of the dye and the wool to speak as loudly as the tribal motifs themselves. The composition is centered upon a magnificent, expansive solid open field, a design choice that gives the rug a modern, "color-field" energy despite its 170-year-old origins.
