78840 Distressed Antique Persian Kuba Rug, 04'01 x 06'02.

Persian Kuba rugs, originating from the Kuba region in the Caucasus (modern-day Azerbaijan), are celebrated for their intricate geometric patterns, vibrant colors, and high-quality craftsmanship. These rugs often feature symmetrical designs with medallions, stars, and stylized floral and animal motifs. They are made from hand-spun wool and utilize natural dyes, resulting in rich, enduring colors like deep reds, blues, and greens. The symmetrical (Turkish) knotting technique gives them a high knot density, contributing to their durability and fine detail. Kuba rugs are typically found in smaller sizes, making them ideal for decorative use.

Historically, Kuba rugs were woven by village artisans, with skills passed down through generations, and they played a significant role in the local economy and cultural heritage of the Caucasus. These rugs are highly sought after by collectors for their beauty, quality, and historical value. To maintain their condition, Kuba rugs should be professionally cleaned, kept out of high-traffic areas and direct sunlight, and regularly rotated to ensure even wear. Their intricate designs and vibrant colors make them prized possessions and beautiful additions to any home.
