Karachov Kazak
New
230 x 160 cm (7' 7" x 5' 3")
Caucasus, mid 19th century
Condition: used, low pile, corroded dark brown, fringes attached, several old repairs, one large stain at upper left, signs of use
Warp: wool, weft: wool, pile: wool
Karachoph Kazaks are among the most distinctive and sought-after groups of 19th-century Caucasian rugs. Their monumental geometric designs and powerful colors give them an unmistaka-ble character.
The present example is distinguished by its exceptionally well-balanced composition. A large, almost octagonal ivory-colored central medallion, enclosing a red field with intricate geometric ornamentation, dominates the design. Four large square corner panels featuring eight-pointed star motifs, together with brick-red cartouches decorated with hooked ornaments, complement the strictly symmetrical arrangement. Numerous small, multicolored motifs enliven the back-ground and add further depth to the composition.
Particularly appealing is the wide, bright yellow main border, decorated with red and blue stepped motifs and geometric hooked ornaments. It provides a striking contrast to the monu-mental central field. The harmonious palette of warm ivory, rich brick red, deep indigo, and various shades of green and blue enhances the exceptional visual impact of this rug.
The precise drawing, balanced arrangement of ornaments, and particularly beautiful colors make this Karachoph an impressive and highly characteristic example of 19th-century Caucasian weaving.
Estimate: € 3000 - 4000
