Antique Kazak Rug

19th century
Description

Antique Kazak rug with a soft red background with a pale off white border, a striking Caucasian rug which has a wonderful shield design.  Woven by Armenian weavers in the mountains of the Caucasus, this rug has amazing border designs, with classical motifs of S which represent the sun, the crab border motif and shield designs too.   The natural dyes have faded, yet retained their beauty and create a collectable and exciting 140 year old Caucasian rug.

Condition is very good, with a soft wool and medium pile height.  Fringes are original and sides are too in lots of areas, only a few lower areas of pile, mainly in the black/brown dyes which are due to corrosion.  Iron properties were in the brown/black dyes when the wool was made over 100 plus years ago, so this corrosion has happened over this time period.

Rugs bearing the name Kazak come from the highland area of the Caucasus in Azerbaijan whose centre is the town of Kazak. Woven by semi-nomadic shepherds of the region. They use fabulous vegetable dyes and high quality hand spun wool from their own herd.  Depending on the weave some Kazak rugs can be extremely soft to handle as the wool is light and woven on a supple foundation.

We offer the service of viewing any of our antique rugs in situ or at our barn showroom by appointment.  Please request a home visit to view this exceptional antique Kazak rug at home soon, or contact us for more info.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Kazak rugs are traditional hand-knotted textiles originating from the Caucasus region, renowned for their bold geometric motifs, high-contrast palette, and durable wool construction.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool foundation, traditionally coloured using natural dye sources.

Authentic examples feature symmetrical or asymmetrical hand-tied knots on a flexible wool warp and weft, prominent geometric medallions, and subtle natural colour variations known as abrash.

A Kazak rug serves as a foundational anchor in living rooms or studies, contrasting cleanly with contemporary minimalist furniture or accentuating traditional dark wood interiors.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only attachment without a rotating brush, rotate the rug annually to balance light exposure and foot traffic, and arrange for professional cleaning when necessary.
