(Connoisseur-Caliber) Careful inspection of this compelling Seichur Kuba Caucasian rug will reveal many deeply satisfying elements. The Prussian blue in the field and the sapphire in the border are so incredibly deep and pure, they’re literally iridescent. The design in both the field and the border are without precedent in the Caucasian antique rugs we've seen in person or in the literature. They are composed with incredible movement and visual depth, indicating that this is the work of an extremely seasoned and inspired weaver. The field pattern of climbing, meandering leaves and blossoms are rendered tone-on-tone, a surprisingly modern color technique for a 19th century antique carpet. The rust and auburn flowers seem to reach off of the canvas and the blue leaves appear to recede, adding tremendous dimensionality The scarab motif is quite rare as a border design and gives the carpets an ancient ambiance. This collector-level antique rug's weave is exceptionally fine, and its wool literally glistens. Learn About This Rug Type
