Additional Information:

Afghan Kazak Rugs are inspired by Nineteenth Century Caucasian Kazak Rugs.

Antique Caucasian Rugs have for many years been the domain of collectors due to their striking geometric motifs and eye-catching colours.

The Afghan Kazak Rugs represent an endeavour to recreate this type of appealing rug, but ensuring a functional and serviceable rug. These finely woven rugs have a thin, closely sheered woollen pile that creates the look of age.

The pile of these stunning Afghan Rugs is made from wool, formed by hand-tied knots, and knotted onto cotton warp threads. Most new Afghan Kazak Rugs have cotton warps (fringes), whilst older versions of these Afghan Kazak Rugs were made with woollen warp threads.
