3'6x5 ft Vintage Afghan Kazak Style Rug | Bold Stepped Cross Medallion Hand Knotted Caucasian | Royal Blue Rust Brown Ivory | Boho Rug

About this rug

This visually spectacular 3'6x5 ft vintage Afghan Kazak style hand-knotted wool rug is a bold and graphic piece centered around a large dramatic stepped cross medallion rendered in warm rust brown and copper tones that dominates the open royal blue field with extraordinary presence and confidence. The medallion form is built from a series of stepped right angle projections that create a bold architectural cross shape outlined with fine dotted ivory detailing, and its interior surface is scattered with delicate pinwheel star motifs in ivory, blue and rust that add an intricate ornamental layer to the bold geometric form. Small stylized animal-like figures and additional geometric accent motifs are scattered freely across the open blue field around the medallion, a charming and characteristic detail of Caucasian influenced Afghan tribal rug weaving that gives the composition an organic and spontaneous tribal energy.
The surrounding border is beautifully composed, featuring a wide ivory main border densely filled with a repeating parade of multicolor diamond motifs in rust brown, royal blue, teal green and dark red, creating a vibrant and colorful frame that perfectly complements and contains the bold simplicity of the central composition. The deep royal blue field is a particularly striking and unusual choice that gives this rug a remarkable freshness and visual impact rarely seen in Afghan tribal rugs, where red fields are far more common, making this blue field Kazak style piece a genuinely distinctive and collectible example of Afghan tribal weaving. This rug works powerfully in living rooms, bedrooms and studies, and pairs beautifully with both bohemian and contemporary interiors.
