Hand-knotted wool rug in a Kazak design. The camel-ground field is centered by two stepped blue diamond medallions with ivory rosette centers, flanked by red and ivory hooked octagons and small polychrome star devices, the ivory end panels each set with three shield-form motifs. Framed by a blue inner guard, an ivory band of red serrated zigzag, and a brick-red main border of reciprocal latch-hook motifs in ivory and dark blue. Ivory fringe at both ends. Turkish, ca. 1970's
Condition
Full, plush pile throughout with no visible wear or low areas. Colors strong, no fading. Selvages intact. Fringe complete at both ends, slightly uneven, with minor tangling and a few stray red wefts at two corners. Back even and firm; no holes, repairs or reweaving observed. Light loose fiber on the surface. Very Good.
