Antique Kuba rug, late 19th century, North East Azerbaijan |
|
339 This beautifully
coloured rug is stylistically, something of an anachronism. It has a coarse
look, the main border is characteristic of a certain sub-group of rugs
attributed to Chichi and the main field
composition is related to rugs usually attributed to north Shirvan. An
origin in north Shirvan seems most likely, but there would no doubt, be many
people who would support a Kuba attribution or even an 'Ordutch-Konagkend'
one. One would certainly hesitate to suggest that it and no. 337 are part of
a group, despite some superficial similarities and a few shared motifs. Late 19th
century. 144 x 113 cm
