Karabagh 1076

This charming antique Kazak area rug or runner from the Caucasus region, handwoven in the early 20th century, captivates with a whimsical interplay of color, geometry, and hidden design elements. At first glance, the eye is drawn to the bold medallions in varied hues—but a closer look reveals delightful animal and geometric motifs subtly embedded within the field, adding a layer of narrative and joy to the piece.

The rug’s color palette—a warm brownish-rust field adorned with vibrant accents of orange, white, and blue—is masterfully balanced by a striking ivory border. This harmony of tones, coupled with the playful intricacy of its design, makes it a true standout example of village weaving from the Caucasus.
