Description
Lot 37, Hand-knotted Pinwheel Kazak rug, measuring 242×154 cm, is a striking replica of a 19th-century design. Crafted by Caucasian settlers in Afghanistan, the rug features the Pinwheel or Dör d Buynuz (Four Horns) motif, a central element of traditional Kazak rugs. The design includes bold hooked geometric shapes, interspersed with ivory rosettes, symbolising celestial or ancient motifs, often found in Caucasian rugs. The rug’s Turkish (Ghiordes) knot construction, renowned for its strength and durability, gives the piece a robust texture, making it both visually captivating and long-lasting. The use of natural vegetable dyes such as madder and indigo in this Antique re-weave, imparts rich red and blue tones, while the rug’s distressed finish offers an antique patina, replicating the look of a genuine antique piece. This distressed effect, combined with traditional patterns, makes it a perfect addition for collectors who value history, quality craftsmanship, and the timeless appeal of nomadic and tribal designs.
