Vintage Siberian Kazak "Sun & Earth" Double Medallion Carpet (Circa 1970s)
Step into a world of vibrant color and geometric play with this exceptional hand-knotted Siberian Kazak. While the Kazak tradition has roots in the Caucasus, this 1970s Siberian-made piece brings a unique, robust energy and a rare "technicolor" palette that feels remarkably fresh, bold, and modern.
Why It’s Unique
This rug is a celebration of chromatic play and rhythmic geometry, making it a standout statement piece for any home.
Dueling Color Medallions: The design features a double center medallion, uniquely rendered with contrasting ground colors. They are "buffered yet connected" by a singular floral cross-section and germinating plant, representing a beautiful visual dialogue between the two central forms.
A Playful Garden Field: The surrounding field is "covered" with a joyful arrangement of floral top-views. Unlike more formal Persian rugs, the layout here is whimsical and energetic, inviting the eye to wander.
The "Reciprocating Pawn" Border: Beyond the meandering vine main border, the inner and outer minor borders feature a rare and charming "reciprocating pawn" design—a geometric motif that adds a crisp, architectural finish to the rug’s edges.
An Extraordinary Palette: This rug boasts one of the most diverse color stories imaginable, including ochre, gold, and saffron yellow paired with aubergine, tangerine orange, dusty emerald green, and chocolate brown.
