(High-Collectible-Plus) (One of 70 "Best-of-Their-Type Rugs" Sold in 2025) Passionate connoisseurs of Caucasian rugs, especially of “Snowflake Kubas” will be astonished by this singular piece. It is a thrilling, enrapturing masterpiece with the avidly prized “Snowflake” pattern brilliantly re-interpreted. Its underlaying harmonious composition displays rhythmic, measured diagonal rows of radiant crystalline blossoms that cascade upon the exceptionally rare glowing, golden camel and umber ground fearlessly streaked by mid-toned and brown-black shades. Oak leaves, walnut husks, madder, and indigo were used to create the secret dye formulas used for this simple and visually enthralling presentation. Two ethereal horsemen inhabit the lower corners, partaking in the wonder and delight of the dazzling snowflake blossoms. Mini-cloudbands and rosettes derived from clusters of circles join the scene. A playful diagonal bar border provides an even more uptempo feel, making this rug all the more captivating and rare to see.
