This is an Antique Sunburst
Zejwa. In the trade it is common to call this
type of rug a Kazak but that is a misnomer. The
rug is in excellent condition with very little
repair. The exception to this is in the corrosive
brown field where the has had expert repair. This
is a very pretty rug with a bold powerful design.
The border and some of the field icons are
clearly influenced by Sejshour Kuba rugs.
It is my feeling that this
sunburst design is derivative of sixteenth
century blossom carpets.
Color is difficult over the
internet, please use the Direct Scan below for
the best representation of color in this rug.

This rug has wonderful color!
The Range of color is
excellent. The ton sur ton red is one of the
highlights of this rug. The green is variegated
and showing traces of yellow as is seen with the
best old pieces. The dyes in the rug all look
appropriate for a natural dye attribution. Of
course this rug has not been tested but it has
the look appropriate to the very best pieces.
This rug certainly merits 5 out
of 5 stars and would be at home in any of the
world's top collections. This rug is the property
of an internationally know author and collector
whose name will be available to the buyer upon
purchase.
