This is a very popular Kazak design with the \u003cem\u003eMemling ( Memlinc ) güls\u003c\/em\u003e within octagons in a double vertical row rug from the late 19th century, Kazak region, Caucasus area. It is often difficult to distinguish between rugs woven in the Kazak, Karabakh, Genje, and Moghan districts. Rugs with rows of stepped and hooked rectangles within octagons (the so-called \"Memling gül\" named after the 15th-century Flemish artist Hans Memling, in some of whose paintings such rugs are depicted) are often attributed without clear evidence to Moghan. As well as in many other Caucasian areas, pieces of this design were also woven in Anatolia, and it is generally assumed that the rugs which appear in Memling's paintings, and those in the works of another 15th and 16th century Flemish and Italian painters, were probably Turkish rather than Caucasian. This theory, however, remains unproven. The design of this rug is interpreted by our designers and soft colors are chosen for this rug. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e  9 colors in total;\u003cul\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarley Corn \u003c\/strong\u003e 103 (Only Specially washed)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMidnight Blue \u003c\/strong\u003e 347 (Spurge - Madder Root - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaramel \u003c\/strong\u003e 545 (Spurge - Pomegranate - Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 316 (No Dye - Sheep’s Own Color)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePale Green \u003c\/strong\u003e 439 (Chamomile - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKhaki \u003c\/strong\u003e 413 (Dyers’s Weed)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCadet Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 (Spurge - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark Sienna \u003c\/strong\u003e 402 (Madder Root - Pomegranate - Spurge - Walnut Husk)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eFor more information about our \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/colors\/\"\u003ecolors.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700739637544,"sku":"ART00536","price":2860.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00536_V-scaled_v2.jpg?v=1776121671","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/memling-gul-kazak-rug-art00536","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
