KAZAK RUNNER
Southern Central Caucasian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) A dazzling hued, strikingly elemental tribal rug with riveting graphics, this virtuoso Kazak embodies the legendary, bold expressiveness produced in the highest reaches of the Caucasus Mountains in a rarely found runner dimension. The unique character of its artistry is executed with great spaciousness and creativity, filling the entire reserve of this 150-year-old tribal art piece with time-softened hues and striking geometric contours that immediately capture one’s attention and enliven the imagination. Like luminous stepping stones, a quintuplet of graphic medallions reveals the path along a buoyant cornflower blue background. Ram’s horn emblems and diamond-centered “Wheels of Life” populate the field’s perimeter with visually thrilling exactitude. Bold outlining assures that each design visually pops, while the steady rhythm of the pattern soothes the viewer. The admirable attention to detail continues into the borders, where a striking series of crystalline rosettes and their interconnected buds - show vividly on a clear ivory ground. It remains in superb condition and shimmers with the gentle glow of free-range mountain wool.
