About the Item

This antique Caucasian rug named Seychour (Zeikhur) measuring 322 × 156 cm (10' 6" × 5' 1") was hand knotted around 1900 with woolen fleece on cotton warp and weft. Zeikhur or Seikhur is a locality near the Caspian Sea north of the Kuba Territory. Kalleh refers to the format, approx. 150–200cm (59'–79') x 300–600cm (120'–240'). This format is traditionally placed at the head of a ghali (kalleh means "head" in Persian), which is a large carpet. The St. Andrew's cross decoration has a Seikhur rosette in the center with wide diagonally crossed arms, forms a continuous modular composition and is repeated four times lengthwise. The border with leaves, decidedly unusual, is a particularity of this specimen. Unsuspected shades of pink, periwinkle, beige, gray, violet, rotten green, burgundy and brown settle on the blue background. Warning, it could create addiction.
