A distinguished late 19th century Cloudband Kazak from the village of Chondzoresk in the Karabagh region of the Caucasus Mountains. This rare weaving displays the celebrated cloudband medallion motif—undulating diamond forms that symbolize harmony and movement—set against a glowing maroon field. The composition is framed by an abrash blue main border, reflecting the authentic artistry of hand-dyed mountain wools.
Prized for their bold geometry, rich palette, and enduring quality, Cloudband Kazaks are among the most collectible Caucasian rugs. In exceptional condition, this piece offers both visual dynamism and historical significance, making it ideal for refined interiors or as a connoisseur-level addition to a distinguished rug collection.
