C19TH KAZAK GUL RUNNER

A late 19th Century Kazak runner, the centre ground with four individual octagonal angular ‘gul’ medallions each displaying a geometric composition on differing ground colours, framed by three bold borders, the inner and outer borders having a white ground with an arabesque design, the wider inner border on a terracotta ground with a stylised calyx and leaf design, the overall polychrome palette of blues, browns, reds and cream although faded in parts is nonetheless striking
