Oosters tapijt 1800 - 1850

"Oosters tapijt," meaning "Oriental rug" in Dutch, is a traditional hand-woven rug created by the Kizil-Ayak people between 1800 and 1850. The rug showcases a rich, repeating pattern of octagons with intricate details, framed by a border filled with geometric motifs. The colors are bold and vibrant, featuring shades of red, brown, cream, and black. This type of rug, known for its durability and intricate craftsmanship, exemplifies the artistic traditions of the Kizil-Ayak people. The rug's large size (247 cm x 180 cm) would have been suitable for various uses, including as a floor covering or a decorative wall hanging.
