A rare and highly collectible example of 19th-century Caucasian weaving, this square-format Kazak area rug from the late 1800s features the iconic “Memling Gul” medallion pattern—a hallmark of tribal artistry. Handwoven in the rugged mountain villages of the Caucasus, this exquisite piece displays two prominent gul medallions in earthy green and brown, elegantly set against a richly abrash French blue field.

The distinctive ivory border is adorned with vibrant geometric motifs in terracotta and indigo, enhancing the rug’s dynamic contrast and visual depth. The use of saturated natural dyes, asymmetrical patterning, and the rare square proportions elevate this rug into a museum-worthy textile.

Woven during the 4th quarter of the 19th century, this Kazak rug embodies the authenticity, craftsmanship, and bold aesthetic prized by collectors and designers alike. Ideal as a statement piece in traditional, global, or maximalist interiors, or even displayed as a tapestry.
