Crafted from vegetable-dyed handspun wool, this fine Afghan Kazak features a traditional geometric design inspired by classic Caucasian patterns. The striking colour palette showcases a soft eau de nil blue background complemented by touches of red, gold, cream, and subtle green accents. The short pile emphasises the pattern's sharpness, revealing beautiful lustre and fine detail work. Practical and hardwearing, this quality piece combines authentic craftsmanship with timeless design. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlease click the hyperlinks below in gold for additional information. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe stock various grades of Kazak carpets, and these pieces are set aside as finer-quality Afghan rugs and carpets. What does it mean? The supplier or finishing centre often grades each carpet. This means that more knots are used to produce a more detailed or refined rug. Of course, as you might expect, the finer the quality, the more expensive the rug will be, primarily because it has taken much longer to weave.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Kazaks are \u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Knotted-pile_carpet\" title=\"hand knotted\" style=\"color: #2b00ff;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e in Afghanistan, the design originates from the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caucasus\" title=\"quick link to wikipedia for information on this areaCaucasus\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003eCaucasus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.
