{"product_id":"cream-navy-erzari-kazak-floral-medallion-rug-261x195cm","title":"Cream, Navy \u0026 Red Erzari Kazak Floral Medallion Rug 261 × 195 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eA distinctive handmade Erzari Kazak rug featuring a striking row of three large circular medallions across the field. The two deep navy roundels contain repeated floral rosettes, while the central red medallion features a radial leaf and foliate motif. Smaller geometric and botanical details fill the surrounding field, framed by a wide navy floral border that gives the rug a strong traditional character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm cream and golden-beige tones form the dominant ground, complemented by deep navy blue and rich red and brick-red. Smaller touches of sage, grey-green and pale gold add further depth to the palette. Handmade in Afghanistan with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, this approximately 50-year-old rug has an authentic time-worn character that reflects its age, traditional craftsmanship and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring approximately 261 × 195cm, its versatile proportions make it particularly well suited to a living room, reading lounge, study or bedroom, where its distinctive medallions can remain clearly visible. Its warm colouring and aged character also work beautifully in farmhouses, safari lodges and interiors featuring antique, vintage or collected furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRug Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRug Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Erzari Kazak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Afghanistan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wool pile on a cotton foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 261 × 195cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rectangular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floral Roundel Medallion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePredominant Colours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cream \/ Golden Beige, Navy Blue and Red \/ Brick Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Colours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey-Green \/ Sage and Pale Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Refurbished with age-related wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSale Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Auction — one unique piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAge, Condition \u0026amp; Refurbishment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appeal of these older handmade rugs lies in their authentic aged character. Unlike a new rug, each piece carries the natural characteristics of decades of use, including areas of wear, variations in colour and texture, fading and other signs of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe degree of wear varies from rug to rug. Some pieces may display considerably more worn areas than others, and this is reflected in the individual rug's condition and auction pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach rug has been professionally cleaned and refurbished as far as reasonably possible, while preserving its original character and naturally aged appearance. Where required, refurbishment may also include repairs or restoration to areas such as the fringes, edges or foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRefurbishment does not mean that the rug has been restored to an as-new condition. Areas of wear, previous repairs, variations in texture, fading and other age-related characteristics may remain visible and form part of the rug's individual character and appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese time-worn handmade rugs are particularly popular in farmhouses, safari lodges, luxury tented camps and interiors featuring antique, vintage or collected furniture. Older rugs of this nature are becoming increasingly difficult to source, making each one an individual piece with its own history, colouring, pattern and degree of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore Bidding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease review all product photographs carefully before placing a bid. The photographs shown are of the actual rug being auctioned and provide the best representation of its individual condition, colouring and degree of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer the uniform appearance and finish of a new rug, the naturally worn character of these older handmade rugs may not be suitable for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional photographs or videos can be requested should you wish to examine the rug more closely. The rug may also be viewed in person at Heriz Gallery, Unit 1, The Straight Shopping Centre, 78 The Straight Avenue, Fourways, prior to bidding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: Measurements are approximate due to the handmade nature and age of these rugs. Slight variations in dimensions, shape and symmetry may occur. Colours may also appear slightly different depending on lighting, photography and individual screen settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach auction rug is a one-of-a-kind piece offered in its existing refurbished condition as represented in the product photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heriz Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67597112082798,"sku":"22139","price":44980.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1669\/1310\/files\/hg-22139-1.jpg?v=1790697938","url":"https:\/\/herizgallery.co.za\/products\/cream-navy-erzari-kazak-floral-medallion-rug-261x195cm","provider":"Heriz Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
