Afghan Kazak Runner — Late 20th Century | 2'1" x 5'7"

This hand-knotted Afghan Kazak runner features a clean, traditional composition defined by bold geometry and balanced proportion. Kazak designs are known for their clarity and strength, favoring form and structure over intricate ornamentation.

The low green palette brings a grounded, earthy tone to the design, offering versatility across a range of interiors—from modern and transitional to rustic and collected spaces. The wool pile provides warmth and texture, while the cotton foundation adds structural stability.

With its narrow scale and durable construction, this rug is well suited for entryways, hallways, kitchens, or studies—spaces where character and practicality are equally important.

Kazak-style rugs trace their visual language to the Caucasus, where bold geometric motifs and saturated colors formed a distinct tribal tradition. In the 20th century, this style was widely adopted by Afghan weavers, who brought their own materials, color sensibilities, and craftsmanship to the format.

Afghan Kazak rugs are prized for their durability and straightforward design. Woven with robust wool and practical proportions, they are made to function in everyday interiors while still carrying the visual heritage of traditional tribal weaving.

This rug reflects that balance—honoring the Kazak aesthetic through form and color while offering a versatile piece well suited to contemporary living.

Razia is a name associated with strength, dignity, and quiet authority. It felt fitting for a rug whose presence is understated yet confident—relying on proportion, color, and material rather than ornament to make its impact.

The calm green tones and balanced geometry reinforce that feeling of steadiness. Razia does not dominate a room, but grounds it—offering structure, warmth, and visual calm in the spaces it inhabits.

It is a practical, character-rich piece designed to integrate seamlessly into daily life while carrying the legacy of traditional Afghan weaving.
