(Connoisseur-Caliber) Offering an extremely versatile size, this wonderfully spacious, nearly 150-year-old high-mountain tribal rug offers a mesmerizing simplicity. A singular sprouting cruciform ivory medallion is the gravitational nucleus of this orderly piece, and is emblematic of regional design tradition. A deftly composed, minimalist artwork, the iconic motifs and the softened patina of great age create an intriguing atmosphere that is the allure of one-of-a-kind rugs from the Kazak style. Rich carmine red supports a range of naturally dyed tones including soft denim, dusky apricot, jade and sea green all with highly sensitive gradations of tonality. Fortunately, this classic Fachralo Kazak remains in very good condition for its age.
