Handsome colors and ancient protection symbols are combined in this distinguished antique Kazak rug, which was created in the Caucasus during the late 19th century.

Antique Caucasian Kazak Rug, Caucasus, Late 19th Century – Beautifully colored and superbly styled, this magnificent antique Kazak rug features a series of dragon style medallions with carefully outlined latch-hook extensions that are set over a robust brick red field. Crenelated fence inner borders create a protective barrier that separates the grand inner borders from the elaborate patterns that decorate the outer perimeter. Formal double ram’s horn motifs set inside coffered compartments form a stately inner border, which transitions into a series of colorful stepped lozenges that are decorated with divided goz symbols, which provide protection from the evil eye. Supplemental barber pole guard bands emphasize the traditional Caucasian style of this stunning antique Kazak rug.
