AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Turkish Kazak rug is a handcrafted rug with a lot of character, inspired by the Caucasian carpets of the Kazak region, but traditionally made in Turkey, especially in eastern Anatolia. It is highly valued for its bold and authentic style.
Main features
• Materials: thick and sturdy wool, often spun and hand-dyed with natural colors.
• Technique: sturdy knotting, which makes the rug durable and suitable even for lived-in spaces.
• Designs: striking geometric motifs (rhombi, stars, medallions, hooks), with strong symmetry.
• Colors: intense and warm tones such as red, blue, ivory, green, brown, and black.

Meaning of the motifs

The drawings are not just decorative:
• The rhombuses symbolize protection
• the stars evoke spirituality
• hooks are apotropaic signs against bad luck

Style and use

The Turkish Kazak rug has a rustic and tribal look, perfect for:
• traditional environments
• homes in ethnic or boho style
• modern interiors, where it creates a strong visual contrast
