Kazak Rug, Caucasus, Turn of the 20th Century – This archetypal antique Kazak rug is a brilliant example of this beloved tribal style. The luscious tangerine ground is emblazoned with a triad of fortified medallions filled with coffered ornaments and wrapped with barber-pole borders. These grand figures are supported by clouds of symbolic space fillers that go to the heart of these ancient traditions. Divided eye motifs, protective S-hooks and decorative berekets complement the collection of symbolic ornaments that fill each grand medallion. This classically appointed field is surrounded by protective crenellated fence guard bands and spectacular leaf-and-winecup main borders, which create a graphic zigzag pattern that emphasizes the strong, clear colors of the Caucasus. From the classical medallions and bright colors to the symbolic decorations and intricate details, this antique rug is a model of Kazak traditions.
