1870's Antique Caucasian Bordjalou Kazak Carpet

About the Item

70950 Antique Caucasian Bordjalou Kazak Rug, 04'00 x 07'11. Late 19th-century, 1870s hand-knotted wool antique Caucasian Bordjalou Kazak rugs are renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship and distinct designs. Originating from the Bordjalou district in the Caucasus region, these antique Kazak rugs are characterized by bold geometric patterns, large-scale motifs, and a vibrant color palette featuring deep reds, rich blues, and earthy tones. Hand-knotted using the Turkish knot technique and made from high-quality wool, these rugs are known for their durability and intricate detailing. Each rug carries cultural and symbolic meanings, reflecting the weaver's heritage and personal stories. These antique Bordjalou Kazak rugs are considered rare and highly collectible. Their rarity is attributed to their age, exceptional craftsmanship, and the use of natural dyes and materials. As they are over 150 years old, finding well-preserved examples is challenging, making them highly sought after by collectors. Additionally, the Bordjalou district was not a major production center, resulting in a limited number of these rugs being produced. Their historical significance, beauty, and uniqueness make them treasured pieces for enthusiasts of antique textiles. Drawing from the rich traditions of the Caucasus region, this Late 19th Century 1870s hand-knotted wool antique Bordjalou Kazak rug weaves an enchanting tale of artistry and cultural heritage. The dark ink blue field is adorned with four striking latch hook scorpion (or tarantula) medallions, each with expanding sides that seem to dance across the rug's surface. Interspersed with animals and diamond motifs, the intricate design captures the essence of tribal symbolism, inviting viewers into a world where every knot tells a story. The main border of this captivating rug continues the narrative with complementary latch hook scorpion motifs alternating with arrow symbols, each pointing towards the other as if guiding the eye along the rug’s journey. Two guard bands, adorned with the comb symbol and running water motifs, add an extra layer of depth and meaning, flanked by delicate barber pole bands. These elements, meticulously crafted, frame the central design beautifully, creating a harmonious balance between complexity and elegance. Set against rich waves of abrash, which infuse is woven wonder with a sense of movement and life, this Bordjalou Kazak rug showcases the heights of traditional Kazak tribal artistry. Its decorative aesthetic, combined with layers of cultural symbolism, makes it not just a piece of floor art, but a timeless window into the vibrant history of the Caucasus region. Enchanting and evocative, this antique rug is a testament to the enduring beauty and craftsmanship of its makers, promising to bring warmth and a touch of history to any space it graces. Distressed.
