Handmade oriental carpet. Old Kazak 290x75 cm
Click here to view this lot Welcome to Passion d'Orient: The term Kazak is used generically to refer to a mixed group of carpets from various regions of the Caucasus. Kazak carpets from the 19th century were knotted entirely in wool. The fabric of the carpet was long and glossy, with large coloured geometric-type designs that varied according to the area they were produced in. During the 20th century, the beauty both of the colours and of the original fantastic designs were rediscovered. They were still being made from memory by women who passed on the craft from mother to daughter, handing this great tradition down through the centuries. This is how carpets from the Caucasus came to be appreciated and still greatly sought-after by amateurs and collectors, and have reached remarkable prices, taking a position at the head of the panorama of Oriental carpets.Manufacture: Knotted by hand.
