Kuba Shirvan

An exceptionally decorative hand knotted Kuba Shirvan rug from the Caucasus featuring refined drawing and striking colour contrast. The deep midnight blue field creates an elegant sense of depth and provides the perfect background for the many stylised floral and geometric motifs in red, light blue, ivory, beige and soft rose tones. The carefully repeated floral and tribal symbols create an almost textile lightness and give the rug a harmonious and balanced appearance despite its highly detailed composition. Particularly beautiful is the contrast between the dark field and the vivid ornaments, allowing the patterns to almost float across the surface. The finely detailed borders with traditional Caucasian motifs frame the composition beautifully and further enhance the rug’s classical character. Kuba and Shirvan rugs are among the finest weavings of the Caucasus and have been admired for centuries for their precise craftsmanship, exceptional natural dyes and intricate patterns. The combination of geometric structure and floral ornamentation gives these rugs a timeless aesthetic that works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors. This piece also stands out for its balanced proportions and very attractive condition. Measuring 178 x 120 cm, it is ideal as a focal point in living spaces, libraries, entrance halls or elegant business interiors. A highly decorative and collectible Caucasian rug with authentic character and timeless appeal.
