Antique Kazak Caucasian Carpet 45188

Antique Kazak Rug, Caucasus, Late 19th Century - This Kazak rug from the Caucasus features simple duality symbols, reciprocating latch hooks and a limited number of motifs woven in clear, contrasting colors that create a high-impact allover pattern. Clear colors in all areas of the spectrum add to the allure of this boldly designed and rendered rug. This classic Kazak rug woven in the 19^th century uses contrasting colors and sharp outlines to create strong patterns using a relatively limited selection of motifs. Contrasting colors add to the impressive counterchange pattern seen between the background and outline of each latch hook row. Crimson red outer borders decorated with a simple pattern of rosettes that are comprised of contrasting roundels complete the classic "less is more" composition of this antique Kazak rug.
