BORDJALOU KAZAK
Southern Central Caucasian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") From the Kazak weaving village of Bordjalou, this triumphant Caucasian rug portrays the great vitality and joie de vivre which resulted from the rugged lifestyle of their high mountain valley. This superb rug features this sub-style’s penchant for latch-hook designs, where Wheels of Life shine upon a lambent marine blue field. Unaffected, asymmetrical placement and drawing of all of its motifs perfectly capture a seemingly effortless spontaneity that is, in fact, the sign of a superb caliber piece. Beyond the variation in the mandalas of the central column, talismanic inclusions and an enigmatic figure add to its cosmic feel. Endowed by radiant polychromy through mastery of natural dyeing practices and expert color contrasts, including a serene sea green rarely found in Kazak rugs, this piece is a celebration of life. Its allure is enhanced through lustrous heavier pile made from virtually impervious mountain sheep's wool.
