On the Design:

Admirers of Caucasian carpets will note an exceptional Kazak design inspiration, likely from those belonging to the late 19th century. The cream field features a navy blue star in the center (a representation of the north star that Turks and Asiatic people held in high veneration). Connoisseurs and designers alike will enjoy the sharp geometry of the piece with its tribal-inspired motifs along with a vibrant and diverse play of red, green, yellow, and blue hues among others. The border, too, embedded with colorful geometric triangular design adds to the very graphic appeal of this traditional piece.

Condition:

This vintage Turkish rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor. See less
