Antique Kazak Handmade Wool Geometric Gold, Ivory, Navy & Light Blue Rug

The Rust field scattered with minor stylized flower heads, hooked panels and minute cross-motifs around a column of ivory octagonal panels containing radiating flower heads and minute cross-motifs flanked on either side by ivory and blue angular trees in a shaded light blue, gold and beige border between zigzag and linked vine stripes.
The “Four medallion Kazak” rug is one whose iconography stands out clearly from the other well-known Kazak types. These rugs are covered with immediately recognizable geometric design. The motif seems to have been adopted into a number of other Kazak rugs which have different proportions and in particular different borders, but there is a core group, of which the present rug is probably the archetype, which share various features.
Measures: 4′ x 7’5″.
