Antique Red Caucasian Kazak Rug Caucasian carpets and rugs are primarily made in villages, rather than in cities. They are made from materials particular to individual tribal provinces, the rugs of the Caucasus normally display bold geometric designs in primary colors. Hand-knotted in the Caucasus Mountains circa the early 1900s using hand-spun wool and natural dyes. From the SW Caucasus, expect lush, high pile rugs; eye catching, vigorous geometries; and broad areas of brilliant natural dyes. Kazak rugs are the sine qua non of antique Caucasian rugs. Colors: reds/ivory/blue/brown.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
