Circa 1870 Caucasian Kazak Rug, Azerbaijan

An antique Kazak rug from Azerbaijan in the Caucasus, woven around 1870. The deep navy field holds a column of bold hooked diamond medallions in red, ivory, gold, green and soft blue, with little stars and small motifs scattered all around. The ivory main border has a very unusual design, rarely seen together with this kind of medallion layout, and that’s what makes this rug so special. Strong, saturated colors and a real tribal spirit.

Condition: Excellent condition, full pile. Some minor rewrapping on the sides.
