About the Item

This 19th-century Perpedil rug from the Kuba region presents one of the most iconic designs in Caucasian weaving: the powerful wurma ram’s horn motif repeated along a deep navy field. These angular forms—woven in shades of blue, ivory, and red—symbolize vitality, protection, and continuity, giving the rug a bold and unmistakable graphic rhythm. Between the ram’s horns, stylized animals, rosettes, and star elements animate the composition, creating a sense of movement that reveals new details each time one looks. The borders are equally compelling, culminating in a beautifully articulated kufic-inspired band that frames the carpet with refinement and structure. Woven in wool on a cotton foundation, the rug has a firm, resilient handle typical of Kuba workshops, making it both durable and visually striking. The natural dyes produce a rich palette that remains harmonious and balanced—ideal for interiors seeking a strong focal point without overwhelming the room. For collectors and designers alike, Perpedil rugs are prized for their clarity of drawing and symbolic depth. This piece offers history, craftsmanship, and visual impact in equal measure—an artwork for the floor that brings cultural meaning and enduring style to any space.
