Woven in the region of Caucasus mountains, this 140+ year old vegetable dyed wool Kazak embodies the geometric and bold design and color that are traditional features of these rugs. Perhaps that is why they are some of the most widely collected and prized of the Caucasian rugs. Some of the earliest Kazaks woven date back as far as 1700 BC.
This worn Kazak was woven with wool on a soft wool foundation. All the colors you see are from all natural dyes that was hand knotted to make this tribal gem and the differentiation of color shades throughout is abrash, a natural characteristic of old rugs woven with several batches of naturally dyed wool. This old piece is very tribal and powerful and will add a great deal of history and soul to the home.
Low pile, very worn. With a beautiful, floppy handle. Not ideal for a high traffic area. Due to the softer nature of the wool rug and its natural worn character, this antique rug should not be layered on jute/sisal rugs.
Exact size: 4'6 x 7'6
