The 'pinwheel' Kazak has for a long time been one of the most collectable of all Caucasian nineteenth century rugs. Typically, the present lot shows little variation from other examples in the group in the arrangement of the field design of off-set columns of ivory rosettes alternately enclosed within rotating indigo hooked panels all linked by green hooked panels containing C-motifs. Indeed, there is only one published example of nineteenth century date which has any variation in the field design, and that bears a very provincial drawing style in a number of details (Antique Oriental Carpets from Austrian Collections, Society for Textile Art Research, Vienna 1986, no.41). The present border is found on all but a couple of examples which use a design characteristic of Borjalou weavings.
A brief discussion of this group can be found by Hans Otto Gsell ("Some thoughts on the swastika Kazak", Hali, vol.3, no.3, 1981, pp.292). The earliest dated example bears the figure AH 1222/1807-8 AD, but there is some doubt as to whether this is correct (Rippon Boswell, Wiesbaden, 10 November 1984); a date in the second half of the 19th century seems more probable for the majority of examples. Another related example of the group was published by Eberhart Herrmann, Asiatische Teppiche und Tektilkunst 3, Munich 1991, nr.17 and a further example sold at Christie's, London, 8 April 2014, lot 38.
