Kazak Rug
At the same time as the Arts & Crafts Movement was active
in Europe, the nomadic Cossack tribes in the Caucasus region
between the Black and Caspian Seas were weaving their own
distinctive and colourful rugs. The name "Cossack"
derives from the Turkish word "kazak" which means
"free man" or "adventurer".
Morris and his comptempories were all heavily influenced
by the styles of the East. Beth Russell has taken these
influences and designed this delightfully simple rug.
