About the Item

This is a unique, Caucasian Old Kilim from the Kuba (Quba) region with three medallions, rare embroidery, and beautiful color composition. This Kilim is from Kuba, a city in Azerbaijan in the Caucasus region. It is characterized by bright colors using strong dyed colors. Although it is old, the colors remain very strong, and the contrast is clear. The pattern is also original, and the design is unique. Arrow motifs, animals, and flowers are also woven. The pattern drawn in the green field surrounded by zigzags in the center is truly unique, and it has a strange feeling like a message drawn by an alien. That's not the only unusual thing. Letters and years are woven at the bottom. The strong contrast between black and colors like red earth makes the other colors (which themselves are natural dyes and each one actually a muted hue) stand out and brighten up. It may be a Kilim full of individuality like Picasso in painting. Kuba kilims are often decorated with large abstract indented medallions arranged in a well-organized format, and this composition appears from the number of such kilims to have been popular with the weavers. Others have large, central, hooked medallions that run down the center, the full length of the rug. Such compositions are usually completed by a border of repeated motifs, and few areas of the rug are left undecorated. Kuba kilims, in general, have a greater diversity of composition than other Caucasian kilims, and their colors vary from a dark to a softer palette. The slit-weave technique is employed as a rule.

Antique Caucasus Soumak Kilim Sumac Rug, Caucasian Natural Carpet
Located in Tokyo, JP
This is a large Antique Soumak ( Sumak, Sumac ) Kilim from the Caucasus region with a rare and beautiful color composition. Of the four countries that make up the Caucasus, Azerbaijan produces the most kilims, and the land has a long history of weaving. The nomadic tribes wove kilims and carpets as well as a wide range of storage bags and sacks, such as saffrash, khurgin and chula, and donkey and horse trappings. Smaller bags for salt, utensils, and other items are also common. Not only are the Azerbaijani weavers prolific, but they also employ many techniques at the loom. These include slitweave- known locally by the word kilim, warp-faced patterning (jajim), supplementary weft (zili), weft wrapping (popularly known as soumak), and extra weft wrapping (verneh). Furthermore, flatweaves are defined by regional names such as palas and shadda, so it is possible to ascribe a variety of weaving names to particular provenances as follows: soumaks are made in Kuba, palas, and kilims in Hajikabul, zili in Khizy, verneh and zili in Kazakh, shadda, verneh and zili in Barda, jajim in Agjabedi, and palas and kilims in Jabrail. Soumak weave is a technique in which new weft threads are added to a plain weave fabric, and one or two warp threads are wound from the front to the back. The resulting kilim is denser and firmer, giving it a unique feel and look. This technique is commonly used in the Caucasus region. Soumak Kilims have a very beautiful contrast between orange that shines like the sun, deep purple-tinged indigo, and astringent dark red. You can also see the unevenly dyed abrage in this sumac, which is like a magic carpet with an oriental atmosphere. Features of the Caucasian kilim, such as the unique cosmic geometric floral pattern, are also found in this Soumak. It has a bright look, but it also has a faded and textured feel, so it can be used in a good old atmosphere. The woven fabric is particularly solid, so it is recommended for use in a solid living room or under a dining table without moving or twisting. A nice kilim under a long wooden dining table.
