Kazak Long Rug
Second half 19th century, 305 x 120 cm, South West Caucasus
This Kazak featuring a yellow-ground leaf-and-calyx border belongs to a specific group made by Armenians in the Kazak area. All the surviving examples are woven in the same long format in a design of two parallel red bars decorated with blossoms and terminating in stepped hooked gables. They fill almost the whole of the dark blue field, leaving between them only a narrow panel of blossoms with a small hexagon placed at its centre. Outstanding weave, excellent wool. – Good condition, original end and side finishes.
