454. a powerful antique Kazak Caucasian rug

454. Provenance: Kazak, Georgia, The Caucasus

Size: 226 x 126 cm

Age: Circa 1920

Condition: Very good with full high pile.

Notes: The glorious simplicity of design and colour for which tribal Caucasians are justly famed and sought after. This so called 'Three-medallion-Kazak' has glorious natural colours including various shades of indigo, and a lovely turqoise-green. The red is a warm and vibrant madder and even the orange (which can be over-used and harsh) is subtle. Glossy, hand-spun wool in pile and foundation. A collectable treasure.
