Lot Essay

There is a smaller group of known variant Karachof rugs, to which the present lot belongs, where the field is centered by a stacked vertical arrangement of panels filled with both bracket and hooked Kochak motifs. Even more unusual, is the golden yellow ground of the field of our rug, which is echoed in some of the hooked bracket motifs in the main border.
