A lovely rare small format antique Kazak rug, woven in the late 19th century and in honest good condition. �We love the ivory border design, really lifts the palette on this traditional geometric pattern. Great pale blue dyes and small soft yellow dyes can be seen too.� Kazak weavers used lush soft wool, and often had a thicker pile than other Caucasian rugs such as Shirvan or Talish.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.Book in a home visit or showroom visit to see this beautiful antique rug up close soon.Farnham Antique Carpets are specialists in antique decorative carpets, rugs and runners.
