KUBA
Northeast Caucasian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) Superlative dexterity, novel and successful artistic choices infuse every aspect of this highly accomplished, collectible rug from the renowned Caucasian tribal rug tradition. The time-softened, skillfully wrought yellow field utilizes a charming repeating butterfly motif while a light toned ivory main border reveals a multicolored traditional pattern rendered with extreme clarity. Accent tones of the rare Tyrian purple, scarlet and chestnut are used in fascinating, ever-changing color combinations. This medium-pile, antique area size piece shows an unusually high degree of spontaneity that has captured the attention of art collectors for over a century. Note the continual sprinkling of tiny ornaments and an overall playfulness in its drawing. Don't miss the constant reinvention of the hard-to-render checkerboard diamonds throughout the field!
