This Fachralo rug was handwoven in the Caucasus during the late 19th century.
A superb example of the famed Fachralo Kazak tradition, this nearly square tribal rug showcases the bold geometry and saturated natural dyes that define the best of 19th-century Caucasian weaving. Two stepped red diamonds anchor the rich indigo field, surrounded by stylized floral octagons arranged in harmonious symmetry. A vibrant rosette border on madder red is framed by ivory-ground reciprocal latch-hook motifs and intricate vine guards, adding rhythmic complexity to the composition.
The Fachralo subgroup is celebrated for its strong compositions, precise drawing, and luminous color palette, qualities all on display in this piece. Fachralos most often come in a directional mihrab format and these all over design pieces are rare and highly sought after, enhancing its visual impact and collectible appeal.
A classic and desirable rug from one of the most iconic Kazak weaving centers.
In very good condition, with some repiling to the field which has been done professionally.
