KAZAK RUGS

Kazak rugs (pronounced kah-zahk) trace their roots back to the Caucasus region, near Armenia, Azerbaijan, and parts of Georgia. These rugs have a long, rich history dating as far back, as the 18th century — originally woven by nomadic tribes who used them for both decoration and practical use in their homes and tents.

What makes Kazaks so special is how they blend rug-making tradition with cultural storytelling. Each pattern is filled with tribal symbols, geometric shapes, and motifs passed down through generations — often representing protection, fertility, or strength. You're not just getting a rug; you're getting a piece of living history.

Kazak rugs are known for their vibrant colors and bold, geometric patterns — often featuring medallions, diamonds, crosses, or hooked motifs. You'll typically see rich reds, cobalt blues, ivory, gold, and forest greens — all created with natural dyes that age beautifully over time. They're hand-knotted using high-quality wool that's tightly woven, giving them a dense, durable texture with a bit of a crisp feel underfoot. The pile is usually lower than other types of Persian or Turkish rugs, making Kazaks perfect for layering or placing in high-traffic areas like entryways, kitchens, or living rooms.
