Kazak rugs (also known as Karachop and Karachov) are defined by their unique central medallion, which features eight points and resembles a star or a flower.
Iran has been one of the highest-quality rug producers for centuries.
Kazak rugs are notably different from other Oriental rugs, for two manufacturing processes that occur after weaving. The pile on the rug is cut down, making them thinner and lighter than other rugs.
Cleaning a kazak rug start by vacuuming both sides to remove loose dirt. Test a small, inconspicuous area for colorfastness before cleaning. For a DIY solution, mix a mild detergent with water, avoiding harsh chemicals. Using a soft brush or sponge, gently clean the rug in the direction of the pile.
Kazakh rugs are all wool, coarsely knotted in the symmetrical knot with a long, lustrous pile, and use strong red, blue, and ivory in bold combinations with relatively simple but dramatic designs.
