About the Item

This antique Chichi rug from the Kuba region displays the crisp geometry and vibrant palette that define the finest village weavings of the Northeast Caucasus. The composition centres on a vertical chain of bold star-shaped medallions set against a warm terracotta field, each filled with intricate small motifs that reveal new details with every glance. Surrounding the field, the rug features several finely rendered borders—most notably the characteristic Chichi “chain and rosette” and “reciprocal latch-hook” patterns—creating a satisfying visual rhythm and a beautifully balanced frame. The naturally dyed wool retains its clarity and saturation, giving the rug a presence that is both warm and architectural. In person, the piece feels exceptionally tactile, with a dense and resilient pile typical of Kuba-area craftsmanship. Its proportions make it ideal for entryways, living rooms, or gallery-like spaces where strong graphic design can anchor the environment. Clean and ready for installation, this rug offers both decorative impact and lasting historical value.
