About the Item
A late 20th century watercolour on silk on handmade paper of an antique Caucasian 'Kuba' rug by French artist La Roche Laffitte. Faintly signed to the bottom right. This is one of a collection of 8 'Kuba' rug watercolours all available individually on 1stdibs.
One of eight beautiful renderings of an antique 'Kuba' rug from the Caucasus. As usual Laffitte masterfully depicts through watercolour on silk the incredible detail and colour palette of the original. The quality of the handmade paper is lovely and enhances the beauty of the painting.
Would make a wonderful single piece or hung as a group on one wall. Excellent interior design pieces.
This contemporary artist, born in 1943 specialises in watercolour studies on hand-made paper. With his highly detailed and precisely painted studies he invites us into the magical world of cultural objects, flora and fauna. The treasures of nature along with tribal regalia is his main inspiration. All of his work is beautifully observed and executed down to the smallest detail.
Antique Kuba Rugs, also known as Quba, is a historic Khanate or administrative district populated by the Lezghi people and Azeri Turks. Located in present-day Azerbaijan, the city of Kuba produced some of the most distinctive and finely executed Caucasian rugs. They are beautifully and richly colored, and they combine cryptic Caucasian symbols with exceptionally decorative motifs. Regional sub-types, such as Konagkend rugs, are often lumped together with the diverse Kuba group.
Antique Kuba rugs include famous chi-chi prayer rugs, large-scale blossom patterns and richly colored rugs decorated with a series of radiant medallions. Lezghi stars and Chelaberd medallions with appendages that resemble eagle’s wings or sunbursts are also produced. Some of the most splendid allover patterns feature exquisite latticework motifs that are filled with floral sprigs.
Kuba rugs Noted for their precise drawing and detailed design, antique Kuba rugs are probably the finest and most tightly woven antique rugs from the Caucasus. Closely related to Shirvans and Dagestans, they are distinguished by a dense, ribbed structure and higher knot count. While medallion compositions do appear on Kubas, they are best known for their meticulous allover patterns of small, carefully worked motifs. Some of the more well known and sought-after Kuba types are the so called “Chi-Chi” and Konaghend patterns, or the Alpan and Zeykhur designs. If Kazaks are the most powerful of Caucasian Rugs, Kubas a surely the the most elegant.
