KAZAK RUNNER, Southern Central Caucasian
3' 8" x 12' 2" Circa 1875 Price: $9,800
(High-Decorative)
Resonant hues and an uniquely dynamic composition imbue this strongly collectible antique Caucasian Kazak rug with an atmosphere of great vitality. Subtle abrash striation underpins measured diagonal rows of dramatically stylized boteh forms, each in contrasting tones. Vivid diagonal stripes reappear in the electrifying main border, surrounded by an equally robust, reciprocal "Fence of Security" pattern.
