FACHRALO KAZAK, Southern Central Caucasian
4' 3" x 5' 1" Circa 1875 Price: $6,000
(High-Decorative)
A profoundly saturated assortment of seldom-seen green hues joins with resonant carnelian, indigo and ivory tones to bring a magnetic presence to this infinitely compelling collectible Caucasian Kazak; an antique carpet from the highest reaches of the Caucasus Mountains. It is exceptionally finely woven for a Caucasian rug of this style, lending a chiseled quality to its balanced imagery. This is most notably in the painstaking lines of its carefully integrated borders. Its architecturally shaped field retains only the faintest vestiges of the prayer niche format. This is artfully surrounded by a reserve of “Wheel of Life” mandalas, adding to the innovative spirit of this highly compelling antique Persian rug art piece.
