TRIPLE MEDALLION KAZAK
Southern Central Caucasian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) Singular artistry, masterful use of naturally dyed colors, and consummate craftsmanship give undeniable visual presence to this connoisseur’s piece from the highest reaches of the Caucasus Mountains. Riveting tribal graphics passed down for centuries spaciously orbit the commanding triad of emblematic medallions. Whirling Wheels of Life, Stars of Wisdom, Diamonds of Strength, and an eternal weaver’s comb, were intended to magically protect the rug and its owner. The wonderfully improvised take on the venerable “chalice and oak leaf” border reads like a jazzy score, where variances in the spacing and placement of motifs, with proportional compression and expansion, create an enduring rhythmic charm. Memorable hues, including Egyptian blue, shades of carnelian, and saffron-based gold are made incredibly luminous by superb wool quality and bring even greater vibrancy to this over 140-year-old treasure.
