Rug Description

This exquisite Caucasian rug Cuba antique from the 19th century exemplifies the precision, color clarity, and compositional finesse that have made Kuba weavings among the most celebrated of the Caucasian tradition. The all-over lattice design is structured around a repeating field of hooked lozenges, each filled with radiating floral, diamond, or stylized cross motifs. The central field displays a brilliant interplay of terracotta, deep indigo, ivory, and saffron yellow, reflecting the masterful use of naturally dyed wool. Encased in multiple borders, the primary frame features a classic ‘Kufic-like’ star medallion chain, punctuated with geometric rosettes and serrated floral elements—signature traits of Kuba weavings from villages such as Perepedil, Alpan, or Karagashli. This rug’s incredibly crisp drawing, tight weave, and well-balanced palette reflect the high standard of village workshops in the Kuba district during the 1800s. Despite its age, it retains perfect color saturation and pile integrity, making it ideal for both collectors and designers seeking authenticity. Explore our fantastic collection of Caucasian rugs.
