Bidjov Kazak Rug
This is a Bidjov Kazak rug, designed late 19th century, is a type of handwoven rug that originated from the Caucasus region, specifically from the town of Bidjov, a few miles north of Marasali. As with many place names, the attribution to Bidjov is by no means certain; this group as a whole seems closer to north-eastern Caucasian weaving. Indeed, in the literature, any number of rugs will be found attributed to Kuba, Seichur, and Derbend which seem part of the same group, and it is probable that the composition was produced throughout the eastern Caucasus. The design consists of an ascending series of palmettes flanked by large serrated leaves and smaller palmettes. In many respects, it can be linked quite closely with the ‘dragon’ and ‘floral’ rugs of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and through them to Persian floral carpets. Indeed, on one extraordinary example illustrated in the catalog of The George Walter Vincent and Belle Townsley Smith Collection of Islamic Rugs (no. 32), the connection with the lattice ‘vase’ carpets of Safavid Persia is clearly stated, the palmettes being transferred into two huge double-ended vases, from each mouth of which grow floral bouquets, all surrounded by an elaborate criss-cross lattice with flowers and palmettes. The design of this rug is interpreted by our designers and soft colors are chosen for this rug.
