Description
Vintage Afghan Kazak RugThese gorgeous rugs were originally made in the Caucus during the 1800s. Now the Afghan Hazara people in Pakistan are continuing to weave these hand knotted works of art. The new generation of weavers in Pakistan have embraced the colors, patterns and workmanship of the traditional Kazak rug weavers from the Caucus.The pile of Kazak rugs is relatively short when compared to other oriental rugs. And the reason is that they are put through an antique washing process. During this process the rug piles are cut short and the entire rug is stone washed, similar to stone washing process used for jeans. And because of this process, Kazak rugs have a beautiful antique finish. These rugs also have few different field colors, such as red, blue, green and cream. Almost all Kazak carpets have geometric patterns. They either have very large and bold geometrical motifs or they have smaller and more detailed geometrical motifs.Size:4'2" x 6'1"
