Antique Caucasian Sewan Kazak with Key Hole Design, Dated 1288 (1871).

19th century
For Sale by Cotswold Oriental Rugs (Reserved for a buyer)
Description

Size: 5ft 1in x 4ft 2in (154 x 127cm).

Antique South West Caucasian Sewan Kazak rug of the traditional ‘key hole’ design, also known as 'octagon ended medallion' design.

Dated 1288 (1871).

The rug is of a very unusual small size, it is very well drawn with excellent colour and superb soft wool. The large central medallion is in indigo blue with a small madder red octagon medallion to the center. The field of the medallion is filled with stars along with a date panel for 1288. The field is also covered in stars and tribal devices along with another date of 1288. The main border is of a reciprocal arrow head design.

The rug is in excellent condition with very slight wear and good pile. The rug has excellent wool with glossy pile. There is slight corrosion to the browns. The rug retains the original braided end finish at the top end.

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

The rug is suitable for light domestic use and would make a superb display wall hanging.

Dated Kazak rugs are scarce, this is an outstanding example and would be a good addition to any collection.

Stock Number: H-489.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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 and are characterized by a prominent central cruciform or keyhole medallion format surrounded by geometric tribal iconography.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, saturated with dyes derived from natural plant and mineral sources.

Authentic period examples feature pure wool construction, slight irregular variations in weaving symmetry, rich saturated primary colours from vegetable dyes, and distinct geometric central motifs.

A bold geometric tribal rug creates a visual focal point in contemporary or minimalist rooms, anchoring neutral seating arrangements and complementing natural timber furniture.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only nozzle without a rotary beater bar, rotate the rug annually to distribute tread wear, and clear spills immediately with clean water.
