Beginning in ancient times, Kazak rugs have added luxury, prestige, warmth and comfort to homes. Originally woven with strands of silver and gold, Kazak rugs were, at one point, symbols of status. They were placed in churches, palaces and within homes of the elite class. This brand new vegetable-dyed Kazak rug is hand-knotted in Pakistan of 100% hand-spun wool and has 80 knots per square inch.
