(High-Collectible-Plus) Certain antique rugs have a particular quality that compels viewers to recognize an instant visual appeal that sets them apart. It has been years since we were able to offer a Tree of Life Kazak in this very special, most rarely-found format. A single Tree stands tall within a spacious field with fruit and young saplings adorning its horizontal branches. Below this sacred canopy are two Neolithical horses that have come to take refuge under this life-giving sentinel. Every design is crisply expressed and inundated with a hand-brewed Kazak colorway, notably the richly dyed madder red field, marine blue trunk, and spruce green highlights. Though never static or explicitly measured, the Tree and novel ram’s horn red border motifs are ideally ordered and proportioned, characteristics not usually associated with Kazak weavings but here seemingly as a tribute to this age-old symbol. In the ivory bands, an innovative version of the “oak leaf and wine glass” border motif practically pulses through the deft juxtaposition of color and shape. This piece is an important part of the symbology of the Caucasian peoples and is especially remarkable for its mature artistry and stunning condition.
