Description

Discover the powerful artistry and timeless beauty of this magnificent Late 19th Century Antique Caucasian Kazak Area Rug or Wide Runner. Meticulously hand-woven by village weavers, Kazak carpets are renowned for their bold geometric designs and the brilliant colors of their natural vegetable dyes.

This rug features five distinct geometric medallion forms that create a strong and balanced visual rhythm across the central field. The field is a brilliant and vibrant terracotta red, a beautiful and powerful color that is a hallmark of Caucasian weaving. The rug is expertly framed by an abrash brown border, which adds a warm and inviting enclosure. The term "abrash" refers to the subtle and charming color variations that result from the use of natural dyes, giving the rug a unique and authentic character. The border is adorned with beautiful small medallions in a harmonious palette of green, red, blue, and ivory.

The rug also features multiple smaller borders in beautiful colors and designs that further frame the central field, showcasing the master craftsmanship of the village weavers.
