Antique Caucasian Kazak Rug, Caucasus, Circa 1900 – This antique Caucasian Kazak rug exemplifies the rustic, symbolic style of regional weavers, which is beloved by collectors and decorators. The superb, highly sought-after triple medallion design is set over a rare, beautifully abashed blue ground that’s embellished with well-defined decorations in resoundingly clear colors. A triad of cruciform medallions framed by checkered strap work accents traverses the length of the field along with checkered octofoil guls, divided eye motifs, S-hooks and tribal protection symbols. The exuberant symbol-rich field is framed by a series of classical Caucasian borders, including barber-pole stripes, brick-red guard bands filled with segmented rosettes and narrow main borders featuring S-hook figures with re curving eagle’s head beaks. Crisp hairline details and strong right-angle figures give each medallion and small-scale amulet a powerful, highly decorative appearance prized in Kazak rugs.
