A Caucasian Star Kazak Wool Rug, 19th Century.
Approximately 196 x 172cm
Kazak rugs are known for their bold geometric designs, vibrant colors, and durable wool construction, often used as floor coverings or decorative pieces in homes.
The rug's central feature is the large, bold star motifs, which are prominently displayed in a complex arrangement. The central star is flanked by smaller geometric shapes, creating a dynamic and symmetrical composition. Surrounding these stars are highly stylized, angular patterns typical of Caucasian tribal rugs, often referred to as ram's horn or hooked motifs, symbolizing protection and strength. These motifs are arranged in a repeating pattern and are bordered by a wide frame filled with smaller geometric designs and medallions.
The color palette consists of strong reds, blues, creams, and browns, which are commonly used in Kazak rugs. The bright red and deep blue contrast with the cream background, giving the design clarity and a striking visual impact. The border is lined with small, repeating motifs in rich hues, providing a frame that complements the central design.
