Chondzoresk rugs, also known as Cloudband Kazaks, are a distinctive style of Caucasian rugs. Cloudband designs often reference the legendary Caucasian dragon carpets, visible here through the striking medallions in the field of this stunning piece. The craftsmanship reflects exceptional skill, and the rug carries a beautifully preserved character despite its age.
Three eye-catching medallions showcase the signature cloudband devices, radiating outward from central squared rosettes along the vertical axis of the field. In Asian mythology, these symbolic forms represent the “bands of clouds” created by the vapours surrounding a dragon in flight. This design evokes an ancient, deeply meaningful atmosphere associated with protection, goodwill, and beneficence—offering a mesmerizing, mythic presence in any space.
