("New Arrivals Gallery") Originating in the lowland area of the Caucasus Mountains near the Caspian Sea that harbored a wealth of weaving styles, this slender rug from Kuba offers a captivating visual arrangement that blends a mastery of natural dye techniques and splendid graphics. Visually striking esoteric forms occupy octagons in a seldom seen single column as the field based in burnished gold. Ultra clarity, “modern” Caucasian illustrations that pop, and ideal proportions are the essence of what makes this piece sing. Its superbly executed “crab” border features precision symmetry in the vertical bands and a cleverly done inverse symmetry in the horizontal segments. A luminous color palette makes this right-sized area rug an even sweeter treat! Fabulous condition and 3x5 dimensions allow for its placement in umpteen ways around the home.
