Check out this antique Kazak runner with character and a story-packed narrow field that will surely bring delight. The design is filled with multi-step medallions and tribal motifs against a brick red ground that keeps your eye moving along the length of it. Look closely and you’ll see eight-pointed stars, a symbol of happiness and abundance, along with a sprinkle of S-hook motifs for protection from the evil eye. The details get even more playful. Can you spot the animal and human shapes? One almost looks like it’s riding a horse. Clearly a glimpse into the weaver’s life.
The border work really pulls the piece together. An ivory main band with bold, graphic design provides strong contrast, framed by whimsical strips on either side. The outer “fence” border adds a sense of security, a detail often woven into tribal rugs.
Handwoven with naturally dyed wool, this runner carries soft shades created from plants, flowers, and vegetables. Over the years, the colors have mellowed into an earthy, worn palette that brings out its shabby chic vibe. With 100% low wool pile on a wool foundation, and has a lovely floppy handle. This old treasurer is worn and low pile.. It’s a rug that blends tribal artistry with lived-in charm, perfect for anyone who loves pieces with a past.
