An extraordinary late 19th-century Caucasian Kazak area rug, celebrated for its exceptionally rare and visually striking medallion design. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Bakhshish and Serapi rugs of Northwest Persia, this piece embodies the rich artistic traditions of Caucasian village weaving while offering a distinctive aesthetic rarely found in Kazak rugs.
The rug features a bold red field that provides a vivid backdrop for a commanding central medallion in royal blue, creating a dramatic and elegant focal point. Corner spandrels in deep navy blue are adorned with four intricately woven paisley motifs, each rendered in varying colors for visual interest and symbolic significance.
A true masterpiece of late 1800s craftsmanship, this antique Kazak rug showcases the mastery of regional weavers and is an ideal statement piece for refined interiors, from traditional to eclectic design schemes.
