More about the provenance Kazak | Pakistan:
Antique Russian design which has its origin in the carpet making region of the Caucasus. The beauty of the old and new Kazaks lies in their deep and clear colors as well as their generous geometric patterns. Usually these rugs are higher in pile and therefore softer and heavier. In the new Pakistani productions like this one this effect has been intensified by using even softer more pleasant wool.
This Oriental rug has been treated with a "Noble Finish" wash. This wash includes not only the actual cleaning of the carpet but also its processing (ennobling) which represents an increase in the Oriental carpet's value. By this special technique a soft and silky feel and shine are added to the carpet. This washing technique requires experience and skill since otherwise carpets could easily be damaged by it. In this case the washing was implemented perfectly.
