BORDJALOU KAZAK
Southern Central Caucasus

(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") The often dramatically simple patterns combined with vivifying color combinations are what make antique Kazak rugs so beloved by a great majority of Caucasian rug collectors. This impactful, unusually lengthy specimen of the widely sought after Bordjalou sub-style captivates the viewer through its sheer artistic vitality. Often visually diagnostic of its type, five latch-hook medallions are each uniquely hued, sharing the crimson reserve with a whimsical, mirror image menagerie of stoic ground dwelling birds and their canine companions among highly abstracted flowerheads and cosmic wheels. This piece's bold, rugged geometry is tempered by courageously exotic hues of rose, tangerine golden, rare shades of lilac, jungle green and pistachio. Great clarity of line, magically time-softened colorways and adroit use of casual symmetry confirm both its substantial age and deservedly coveted-by-connoisseurs status. Learn About This Rug Type
