The source of the rug comes from the book Orient Star - A Carpet Collection, E. Heinrich Kirchheim, Hali Publications Ltd, 1993 nr.2. This is the best-known example of a Star Kazaks rug from the Mid 19th century from the Central Caucasus area. Star Kazak rugs are considered to be the most desirable of all post-classical Caucasian types and are much in demand among collectors. Star Kazaks are usually called in English 'star' Kazak and the second 'swastika', although their interlocking design can be interpreted as a version of the star; some of the second types have the swastika motifs standing in greater isolation on a less busy field. However, as with descriptions of Oriental carpet designs generally, the term 'swastika' is more one of convenience than reality; pieces of this design can often be found described in the literature as either 'eternity symbol' Kazaks or 'pinwheel' Kazaks. Our designers interpret the design of the rug, and soft colors are chosen for this rug.
