Kazak region rugs became popular in the late 1800s when a railway first brought them to the rest of the world. Modern designs often mimic the designs found on these beautiful antiques, but one that is authentic has a character that modern imitations cannot convey. Geometrics are now a part of many modern design trends, allowing antique rugs, such as this one, the opportunity to play a new role in interior decorating.
The simple geometric design is classic, and the colors are beautiful.
