Back
This Middle of 19th Century antique red-ground Chondzoresk is entirely filled by two immaculately drawn medallions in white and light blue, each enclosing the design of a central rectangle and eight snake-like shapes in white and red that is typical of the provenance. Described as cloudbands in the past, the designs are now considered stylised representations of dragons. Serrated diamonds, small stars, four-legged animals and birds are arranged around the two primary motifs, and in addition has been incorporated. The border is decorated with large boxes bearing double hooks – a motif often seen in Akstafa rugs. The mellow, harmonious palette and massive impact of the design allow us to date this "Cloudband Kazak" to the pre-commercial period. – It's in perfect condition all sides are original.Size 140 x 250 cm
