6' x 8'6" Super Kazak Oriental Rug | Triple Medallion Geometric Design | Hand-Spun Wool, Excellent Condition

This is a contemporary hand-knotted Oriental rug woven in Pakistan in the Super Kazak style, a modern revival of the old Caucasian village weaving tradition. At 6' x 8'6" it is a true room-size piece for a seating area or a smaller dining table, and it sits comfortably in the sweet spot of our 6x9 Oriental rugs. The wool is hand-spun and takes light unevenly in the best way, so the brick red field shifts gently from panel to panel as you walk around it. The pile is full and even across the whole surface, the selvages are tight, the ivory fringe is clean and the rug lies flat with no ripple or curl. Condition is excellent, and it ships with our certificate of authenticity confirming it as a 100% hand-knotted wool rug.

Design and Motifs

The layout is a classic triple medallion on a single open field, drawn entirely in straight lines and steps with no curved line anywhere, which is what separates true Kazak drawing from workshop florals. The center medallion is an ivory hexagonal panel with a light blue frame and a small red core carrying 8 point stars; above and below it sit two gold and navy stepped medallions ringed with hooked latch-hook arms. Around them the field is filled with small tribal figures: angular cypress trees, teal and salmon octagonal rosettes, 8 petal rosettes, stick-figure crosses and tiny stars scattered in the open red ground. The main border is the one that makes this rug read from across the room, an ivory band of large interlocking Greek key brackets in navy and salmon, flanked by narrow red guard stripes of star-and-pole motifs and an outer light blue vine stripe. If you like this kind of straight-line village drawing, it belongs with the best of our geometric rugs.

A Brick Red Field Framed in Ivory

The field is a warm brick red with a slight tomato cast rather than a cool burgundy, and because the yarn is hand-spun it carries soft abrash, visible as faint lighter and darker bands running across the width in the overhead photo. The ivory is a creamy, slightly buttery white rather than a bleached one, and it does the heavy lifting: it forms the central medallion panel, the wide Greek key border and all the fine outlines that keep the motifs crisp against the red. Supporting colors are a deep indigo navy in the stepped medallions and border brackets, a honey gold that rings those same medallions, a cooler slate blue in the center panel and the outer stripe, and small accents of teal green, olive, salmon pink and pale apricot in the rosettes and cypress figures. Please note the spec sheet records the color simply as ivory; the photographs show that ivory framing a red ground, so plan around a red-and-ivory rug with blue and gold secondaries.

Origin and Weaving Quality

Super Kazak rugs are woven by the weaving communities of northern Pakistan, many of them descended from families who carried the Caucasian and Turkmen design vocabulary east generations ago. The Super designation refers to the grade: higher knot count than standard Kazak production, hand-spun wool rather than machine-spun, and a heavier, deeper pile. You can see the quality on the back and in the folded corner photos, where the knotting is regular, the rows are straight and the motif outlines stay sharp instead of blurring, which is only possible when the knot count supports the drawing. The wool itself is the real selling point: long staple, high lanolin, dense underfoot and durable enough for daily traffic, the same qualities that make the older tribal rugs in this tradition last for decades. The back tag confirms the construction, hand-made in Pakistan with a wool pile, at 8.6 x 6.0 ft.
