699. a playful antique Kazak Caucasian rug

699. Provenance: Kazak village (or thereabouts), Georgia/Armenia, The Caucasus

Size: 205 x 143 cm

Age: Circa 1900

Condition: Not bad for it's high age, but there is wear, some foldwear, and old moth damage.

Notes: Vigorous in design, drawing and artistic verve and individuality. This is what Caucasians of this era are famed and collected for. Niaive, almost childlike in its tribal simplicity. Sumptuous shades of indigo breath life into this old bird.
