"Caucasian/kazakh Rug. Early 20th Century. 215 X 145 Cm"
Superb Caucasian rug originating from Azerbaijan. Woven and knotted wool on wool using traditional methods. The beautiful, rather short pile of wool is silky, ideal for adding depth and luminosity. The delicate harmony of the vegetal hues offers a lovely softness to the eye. The two large medallions in the central field provide perfect balance, surrounded by floral borders. The motifs are characteristic of the nomadic Kazakh people. Circa 1900/1920. Excellent condition. Dimensions: 215 x 145 cm. Laurent, Beauty of Kilims
