Extraordinarily Engaging 19th-Century Caucasian Rug Intensifies The Connection Between Indoor and Outdoor Spaces
Set within an alpine retreat, this extremely potent 19th-century Caucasian rug from the prized Caucasian Sewan Kazak substyle amplifies the natural energy of its surroundings. Birch, pine and white oak provide the perfect backdrop for the tribal rug’s astoundingly evocative, saturated tones, with each crimson, goldenrod and ivory hue further invigorated by majestic abrash striation. Instead of the green medallion often seen in Sewan Kazaks, the creative folk art weavers of this piece have used a breathtaking cerulean blue, which serves to establish an even stronger connection with the clear mountain sky.
