Behold the timeless beauty of our Antique Kazak Rug, a true treasure that dates back to the 1880s. Measuring 4'2" x 6'5", this rug boasts a large central medallion and intricate geometric motifs, all rendered in a captivating palette of red, green, and blue. Despite its age, this Kazak rug remains in good condition, with wear and oxidation consistent with its long history, adding character and authenticity to its appearance. It's not just a rug; it's a work of art that can effortlessly become the centerpiece of your room's decor. Kazak rugs originate from the region west of Karabagh and south of the Caucasus, and they bear a distinct identity. These rugs are knotted using the symmetrical Turkish knot, featuring a foundation and pile crafted from wool. The name "Kazak" is associated with the horse-riding nomadic tribes who created these exquisite pieces. Unlike city rugs, Kazak rugs are primarily produced in villages, and they showcase bold geometric designs in primary colors. They are a unique type of Armenian rug woven in the southern Caucasus, specifically between Tiflis and Erevan. While they may not be associated with a particular tribe, they are intrinsically tied to the geographical regions in which they were crafted. Owning this Antique Kazak Rug is not just a matter of decorating your space; it's about embracing a piece of history and culture that carries with it the heritage of nomadic tribes and the craftsmanship of generations. Let its vibrant colors and intricate patterns infuse your room with warmth and character, a true testament to the enduring appeal of these remarkable rugs.
