About: A GORGEOUS antique Kazak from a region where rug weaving has been so significant to the people, land, and culture. Arguably the greatest rug weaving territory, the Caucasus are known for weaving highly artistic and very desirable pieces with their piercing blues, rich reds, calming camel and taupes, and soft beige, amongst other colors. The strong designs are all very territorial and due to lots of turmoil in their area - some designs become hybrids with other tribal designs to evolve into new patterns and "remix" or patterns and motifs if you will. This piece is a powerful tribal antique Kazak woven in the Southern region or the "low-land" Caucasians. Organic wool foundation with wool pile speaking to it's nomadic nature, this piece lots of symbolism and alchemy at play which is one of the things we are always searching for. In this piece, you will see "running water", mountain motifs, ram horns, and more. These navy blues paired with lighter French and Lake blues add a nice complexity of cool tones, then warmed with the rich red and softened up with the un-dyed beige sheep wool. Lots of nice earthy colors as well add some depth to round this out and make it a fantastic medium-sized antique rug with endlessly powerful design and colors. A true character piece!

This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one available.
