This stunning antique Caucasian Kuba tribal wool rug is a richly detailed and highly collectable piece, showcasing the fine craftsmanship and geometric mastery for which Kuba weavers are renowned. Woven in the early 20th century in the northeastern Caucasus region, the rug features a bold central medallion enclosed within a stepped hexagonal lattice, set against a saturated field of deep brown and terracotta red.
The field is adorned with striking tribal motifs, hooked diamonds, starbursts, stylised rosettes, and symbolic flora, each rendered in a refined palette of ivory, indigo, ochre, and sky blue. The composition is perfectly balanced, with symmetric detailing and a rhythmic visual flow that reflects the Kuba tradition’s blend of structure and artistry.
Framing the central field is a dynamic border ensemble: a wide main band filled with interlocking rosettes and angular motifs, flanked by minor guard borders with delicate vinework and micro-geometric forms.
Hand-knotted in lustrous, high-quality wool and naturally dyed, this Kuba rug possesses a soft patina and intricate knotting that testifies to its age and authenticity. It’s a powerful decorative statement ideal for collectors or interior spaces seeking to combine elegance with the timeless spirit of the Caucasus.
