Antique Kazak Caucasian Rug / Carpet 43486
5.01 x 6.08 Late nineteenth century Antique Chelaberd Karabagh, Caucasus - Two ivory-ground medallions with bold jutting branches hover majestically on the rich red field of this imposing antique Chelaberd Karabagh. Known popularly as ‘Sunburst’ or ‘Eagle’ Kazaks, Caucasian rugs of this kind are descended from the floral designs of the great Caucasian court carpets of the seventeenth century, although they have a much more abstract, graphic tribal sensibility. The interior details of the medallions are rendered in teal, saffron, ivory and red. In the classic Chelaberd tradition, the main border is a ‘crab’ or double-vinescroll with star rosettes set on an ivory ground, narrow in proportion and delicate in detail, a perfect foil for the graphic monumentality of the field design.
