Handmade oriental rug: Old Kazak, 127 x 103 cm
Welcome to Passion d'Orient: The term Kazak is used generically to label a diverse group of rugs that come from various regions of the Caucasus. Kazak rugs from the 19th century were knotted entirely in wool. The rugs' piles were long and shiny, and they had large colourful geometric designs that varied according to the area in which they were produced. Over the course of the 20th century, their beauty was rediscovered, as much for the colours as for the original and fanciful designs, which are still made from memory by the women and passed on from mother to daughter, thus handing down this great tradition over the centuries. This is how the rugs of the Caucasus came to be valued and still greatly sought-after by connoisseurs and collectors, to the point of reaching extraordinary valuations and capturing a position at the forefront of the panorama of oriental rugs.Manufacture: Hand-knotted Size: 127 x 103 cm Thickness: approximately 6 mm Age: Circa .
