Russian Kazak: hand-knotted rug, originating from the region located north and west of Lake Sevan, in the southwest part of the Caucasus. Originally, these rugs were named after the village of Kazakh (Azerbaijan), where they were made until around 1925. They are among the best known and most appreciated Caucasian rugs. They are characterized, among other things, by a long pile and by the fact that they sometimes have up to eight warp threads between their rows of knots. These rugs with relatively spaced knots have a high-quality wool pile, which gives them good durability. Most are roughly dozar size (about 200 x 120 cm), and their width is often notable compared to their length. The colors are vivid and the motifs large in scale and original.
