This lovely antique Caucasian Memling Gol Kazak rug is a captivating example of tribal artistry from the South Caucasus, woven in the early 20th century. Its design is anchored by a series of stacked, octagonal Memling guls named after the famed Flemish painter Hans Memling, who depicted similar motifs in his 15th-century works. These guls are boldly rendered in crimson red and teal blue, each containing a smaller nested diamond filled with intricate, symbolic motifs.
The field is set against a striking ivory ground, which dramatically frames the guls and enhances their visual impact. Flanking the main field is a wide and richly patterned border filled with serrated diamonds in alternating colour palettes red, indigo, ivory, and gold, creating a rhythmic flow that complements the central layout. Multiple narrow guard stripes filled with rosettes and star motifs provide an additional layer of ornamentation and frame the rug with tribal elegance.
Woven from hand-spun wool and dyed with natural pigments, this Kazak rug displays the bold geometry, saturated colour, and balanced proportions typical of highland Caucasian weaving. Its vibrant yet grounded palette and timeless design make it ideal for both collectors and those seeking to infuse interiors with authentic, historic charm.
