KAZAK
Southern Central Caucasian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) This immensely charming, high-mountain Caucasian Kazak rug is the brainchild of a semi-nomadic artist that knew how to introduce magnificent color into the lives of their community. Clinging along the slender polychrome “trunk,” archetypal motifs take the place of ascending medallions. Each is entirely individual and enigmatic. Two-headed creatures with a houndstooth stripe facing each other near the center are the products of legend and folklore that sprang from the imagination of its creator. They are only one of many graphic features that enhance the rug’s unique, exotic quality. Its inspired geometry in the border zones successfully corrals the energy of the dancing symbols in the field in a harmonious interplay. A classic Kazak color palette sizzles with vibrant, naturally derived hues that look as rich as the day the rug was completed. Remarkably preserved heavy pile makes for tremendously good floor condition, while its appearance on the wall would cause modern art masters to stop in their tracks to admire its artistry.
