KAZAK
Southern Central Caucasian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) The most unique and artistic of the naive, geometric Caucasian Kazak antique rugs woven by the nomads who inhabited the highest reaches of the rugged Caucasus Mountains, are prized both by serious collectors and lovers of abstract art. This versatile area-size tribal piece offers a playful character allied with their favored glorious jewel tones that would make for a winning combination with other artworks or enliven a lonely niche by itself. It presents intriguing archetypal motifs, including ascending masks and Egyptian pectoral jewelry-like shapes accompanied by eight-pointed golden ‘Stars of Wisdom,’ native birds in profile, dignified ivory horses and intermingled celestial cloudband motifs that reveal part of the cultural landscape of this artist-weaver. In outstanding heavier pile condition, this magical rug offers hues of madder red, saffron, indigo, and jade green that combine in seemingly endless and delightful ways.
