Lot #5: Antique, hand-knotted wool geometric Kazak-style Rug

Antique, hand-knotted wool geometric Kazak-style rug. This rug is a hand-knotted oriental rug, likely a Persian or a tribal piece, characterized by its traditional design and construction.  Key Identification Features Construction: The slight imperfections, variations in the weave, and the fringe being an integral part of the rug (not sewn on) indicate it is handmade and likely hand-knotted, a characteristic of authentic oriental rugs. Pattern: The rug features an all-over geometric pattern of repeated motifs, which are common in tribal and some Persian rugs, as opposed to the more central medallion designs found in formal city Persian rugs. Colors: The use of rich, deep colors, particularly rust/terracotta, various shades of blue, cream, and darker accents, suggests natural vegetable dyes which would fade and age with subtle variations known as "abrash" over time. The colors appear somewhat muted and varied, consistent with an older, naturally-dyed rug. Material: The dense pile appears to be natural fibers, most likely wool, which is common in Persian, Turkish, and Caucasian rugs. Origin: Based on the geometric style and a visible slight color variation (abrash) within the field color, the rug could originate from a nomadic or tribal weaving area in Persia (Iran) or the Caucasus region. Examples of potential origins could include rugs from the Qashqai or Yalameh tribes, known for their colorful, geometric designs.  73" x 40". Pickup category timeslot {A}
