Antique Caucasian Karabagh Region 3 Medallion Kazak, Circa 1890.

19th century
Description

Size: 8ft 2in x 4ft 9in (250 x 145cm).

Antique South Caucasian Karabagh Kazak rug with triple medallion and a Kufic style border.

Circa 1900.

A good example of the traditional Karabagh region Kazak rug with three medallions. Many consider the medallions to be Turkmen inspired, but there are also links to the Caucasian 'dragon' rugs and the Chelaberd (eagle) Kazak rugs. The large medallions are well drawn and are on a soft terracotta field, this contains many tribal design elements including birds, animals, stars, everlasting knots and other tribal devices. The large ivory ground border is a variation of the Kufic design, notice how the colours change in the border at the lower end.

The rug is in good condition with even wear and good pile, there are a couple of fingertip spots of heavier wear.

The rug is suitable for normal domestic use.

The rug has been hand washed and is ready for use or display.

Stock Number: H-534.

This antique Caucasian Karabagh region Kazak area rug dates from around 1890 in a traditional style. Hand-knotted from wool, the piece displays a soft terracotta field set with three primary geometric medallions in navy blue and cream, accompanied by latch-hook motifs, birds, animals, stars, and everlasting knots. A multi-banded geometric Kufic-style border frames the central field, utilizing palettes of navy blue, ivory, and deep red. The construction includes a good pile with even wear and a couple of localized spots of heavier wear, completed with fringe at the ends. Measuring 250 cm high by 145 cm wide with a 1 cm depth, this rectangular floor covering suits normal domestic use in a home interior, such as a gentleman's library, hallway, or living space. The piece lies flat on the floor and offers traditional tribal design elements for everyday deployment.

FAQs

Caucasian rugs originate from the Caucasus region and are recognised for bold geometric motifs, tribal emblems, and rich saturated dyes, predominantly produced during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

These carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun sheep wool for both the pile and the foundation, creating a durable structure coloured with natural plant and mineral pigments.

Authentic examples feature hand-knotted knotting irregularities, abrash colour variations from batch-dyeing, full wool foundations, and distinctive regional geometric iconography such as latch-hooks or stepped medallions.

Position the rug as a focal foundation on neutral wood or stone flooring, pairing it with contemporary or mid-century furniture to create contrast and historical warmth.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush head, rotate the carpet annually to ensure even wear, and clean immediate spills using cold water and specialized wool-safe detergents.
