With its deep ruby red ground and bold geometric motifs, this Antique Kazak Rug is a vivid and spirited example of South Caucasian tribal weaving from the late 19th century. The layout features a classic prayer arch, flanked by stepped latch-hook motifs and framed by strong border elements with stylized rosettes and serrated leaves—designs that speak to the powerful symbolism and aesthetic vocabulary of Kazak weavers.
Rendered in saturated reds, ivory, and deep navy, the wool pile remains lustrous in places, with clear abrash and subtle variegation adding depth and authenticity. The geometry is assertive yet rhythmic, a balance that makes this piece an excellent choice for either a collector of Caucasian rugs or a decorator seeking a high-impact textile accent. Its compact size and bold coloration make it especially versatile for layering or wall display.
From the private collection of a prominent antique rug dealer in Amherst, MA, this rug is in fair antique condition with wear consistent with age, as seen in the photos. It remains structurally sound and presents beautifully, offering both cultural history and a strong decorative presence.
