Antique Caucasian Sewan Kazak

19th century
For Sale by Siez Gallery (Reserved for a buyer)
Description

This majestic Sewan Kazak displays bold tribal imagery in a beautiful way. The moss green border shows lovely variations of abrash, helping the latched-hook diamonds to pop, whilst the plants within the central field glimmer with soft blues and creams. It is here where the impressive shield medallion is displayed, drawing together a variety of natural imagery into its frame, before centring on the humble eight-pointed star. Despite showing plenty of wear across its surface, this can take nothing away from the captivating design of this rug, that is sure to catch the attention of those who see it.

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.

Sewan Kazak rugs originate from the Caucasus region, specifically woven by tribal weavers in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They are characterised by a prominent central cruciform or shield-shaped medallion, framed by geometric symbols and tribal border motifs.

These carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation yarns. The colour palette is derived from natural plant and mineral dyes, resulting in saturated red, blue, cream, and green tones.

Authentic examples display hand-knotted wool construction with slight structural variations, natural vegetable-dye colour shifting known as abrash, and a wool warp and weft. The distinctive central shield or cross motif serves as the defining design element of the Sewan sub-group.

Caucasian rugs introduce texture, colour, and historical grounding to modern interiors, positioning effectively against neutral timber floors or contemporary furniture. Their graphic geometric patterns complement both classic and minimalist decorative schemes.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a suction roller prevents grit from settling into the pile fibres. Professional hand-washing by a specialist textile restorer is recommended to maintain the structural integrity and natural dyes.
