Kazak Main Carpet Size: 182.9cm(W) x 365.8cm(L) / 6'0(W) x 12'0(L) Region: West Asia ? Caucasus ? Central Caucasus ? Kazak Item Type: Rugs and Carpets Period / Date: 1875 Comments On Condition: There are a few small reweaves and very minor losses at the lower end, with a few areas of localized wear. Both selvages are intact and original. The elaborate braided warp at the top is original. The weft is light red. Full Description: A brilliantly colored carpet with excellent pile and strong graphics. The dominant white octagon contains an archaic "gremlin" in blue-green, surrounded by voluted arrowheads and kotchak elements. Small areas of pale aubergine point to an early date. This is possibly the largest, early example of this design group.
