Vintage Tribal Caucasian Kazak Rug, Country of Origin: The Caucasus Region, Circa Date: Early to Middle of the Twenty Century – Here is an appealing vintage rug – a tribal geometric Caucasian Kazak rug, woven in the finest tradition of antique Caucasian carpets. Among admirers and collectors of antique rugs, Caucasian carpets are considered to be especially desirable; these unique compositions are valued for their distinct tribal and geometric qualities, which lend the carpets a deep impression of cultural verisimilitude. This particular example, while indeed a modern production, beautifully communicates some of the finer points of Caucasian rugs in general, and Kazak rugs in particular. For instance, the concentric rectangle format of the composition, in which the field actually aesthetically functions as a wide inner border, is emblematic of the Kazak style. Further, the abstract, highly geometric detail work that appears throughout the carpet is also quintessentially Caucasian. The color pallet, which relies heavily on reds, is immediately evocative of antique rugs from this region. Beautifully woven in the Kazak tradition, this contemporary carpet is an exemplary vintage production.
