JIurLel) How Do Kazak Rugs Appeal to You? Some people would rather have a Kazak than any other type of Oriental rug. The boldness of the colors in the Kazak, its striking contrasts of ved and white and blue and ivory and green, the simple conventionality of the design-; all these characteristics make an unfailing appeal to those who have distinct ideas of decorative effect and are anxious to strike a more or less emphatic note. Nobody who studies the designs and colors of Kazaks will be surprised to know that they are the product of a wild, bold, nomadic people, restless and independent. Perhaps we should have dwelt more upon the exceptionally low prices marked on these Kazaks, but that fact will be apparent to anybody who knows much regarding Oriental rug values. 6.3x4.7 ft $100 8.2 x 5.4 ft $225 9.5 x 5.4 ft $296 9.1 x 5.1 ft $285 8.6x6 ft $32l5 11.6 x 5.7 ft $324 7.9x5.7 ft. 8.9 x 4.7 ft. 7.8 x 4.3 ft. 7.2x4.8 ft. 10.4 x 5.5 ft.
