Kazak 1883

An exceptional 19th century Caucasian Kazak area rug, handwoven in the late 1800s, showcasing five striking “Memling Gul” medallions arranged in a column. The medallions, rendered in brick red and pale yellow, rest on a rare abrash French blue field, achieved through natural vegetable dyes that have aged beautifully over time. The ivory border features geometric motifs in terracotta, blue, green, and soft yellow, framing the composition with balance and refinement. The artistry and craftsmanship exemplify the enduring tradition of Caucasian weaving, making this piece both a functional rug and a collectible work of art.
