Antico Kazak ad Alberi - Carpet - 291 cm - 204 cm

Wonderful and especially rare Ancient Kazak Tree Carpet (Western Caucasus) , one of the most sought after Caucasian rugs by collectors around the world, iconographic tree of life, which has a fundamental importance in the mythology of Eastern peoples. They were mediators between heaven and earth. These carpets were knotted mainly in the Kazak-Ghendje region. The layout with a central rhombus from which the trees start in both directions is unusual and rare. Classic red background and distinctive kilims on the headboards. The carpet is in good overall condition considering its age. Knotted in the second half of the 19th century, the carpet has only a slight drop in pile, otherwise the carpet has an excellent pile level. As can be seen on both kilims there are tears which can be easily restored. Very large size, 291 x 204 cm.
