An Exceptional Antique Caucasian Kazak Rug
This remarkable antique Kazak rug is a rare and highly collectible example of late 19th-century Caucasian weaving. Hand-knotted approximately 140 years ago, it embodies everything Kazak rugs are known for: bold tribal geometry, saturated natural dyes, expressive movement, and exceptional craftsmanship.
Kazak rugs are celebrated for their confident, graphic compositions and strong visual impact. This piece stands out for its balance of power and refinement, making it an ideal statement rug for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
