LAMBALO KAZAK
Southern Central Caucasian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) This stunningly elemental Caucasian Lambalo Kazak communicates across more than a century the vivacity and simplicity that its weaver sitting at her loom intended. It is a scarcely seen Kazak style that may share a heritage with Talish weaving customs. An orderly perimeter of stencil daisies sparkles on an exceptionally well-dyed carnelian field. The rich signature red from this region creates a profound resonance that lends power to this rug’s arresting artistic purity. Do not be fooled by its beguiling symmetry at first glance. It just makes finding subtle asymmetries much more fun. The hyper abstract flowerheads in the ivory border sizzle with fantastic energy while soothing royal blue minor stripes host a lyrical meandering vine. Little is left of this region’s woven legacy, but a singular, well-preserved piece such as this speaks to this tribal group’s artistry.
