Antique Midnight Blue Kuba Chi Chi Rug

About the Item

Chi Chi rugs, with their rich variety of small-format geometric motifs which hermetically cover the field and borders, are considered some of the most elaborate Caucasian weavings. The midnight blue field of this piece is filled with an immaculately drawn Khyrdaghyd repeat design that is typical of the provenance and framed to good effect by a wide six-panel border section. The field includes polychrome rosettes inscribed within ivory-colored polygons, red & blue hooked medallions, ivory mini-rosettes, and gold serrated leaves. The six-panel border contains a Lezghi star motif, trefoils, and Harshang designs on the minor borders while the main border includes a Cufic designed scroll of flowerheads. While Chi Chi rugs are often defined by their earthy and dark tones, this rug appears to be a break from the norm with the introduction of many relatively light colors of midnight blue, ivory, and a soft madder.
