Antique Caucasian Kazak rug, 19th century, NW Azerbaijan


Lot: 101
Kazak: A very old and ethnologically interesting Kazak, with a number of decorative elements scattered at random across a green met hane field abrashed in several tones, as well as an extra wide, white-ground main border. The form seen at the upper end of the field could be interpreted as a date, but probably constitutes an abstract four-legged animal. The structure, with salmon wefts, is an indication of the age of the rug. – The original finishes, and probably the outermost border, are missing all around. Several repiled sections, two stitched tears in the left-hand border area, low pile.
Origin: South West Caucasus
Dimensions: 247 x 114 cm
Age: First half 19th century
Estimate: 3,000.00 €
Literature: RIPPON BOSWELL Wiesbaden, A 69, 19th May 2007, # 170
