Model: ART00050Konagkend Kuba Rug
The source of the rug comes from the book Caucasian Carpets, E. Gans-Reudin, Thames and Hudson, Switzerland 1986, pg.276. This is a Konagkend-type rug from the late 19th century in the Kuba region, Caucasus. There are three principal designs for rugs attributed to Konagkend ( Konakkent or Konakhend ). The first has a large cruciform medallion, the second, called by Kerimov and Schürmann 'Ordutch-Konagkend', has a series of large octagons, and the third, and probably best known, has a stiff, angular lattice based on hexagonal forms. Each type has a quite different aesthetic appeal and in each case, the design is reminiscent of other rugs. The cruciform medallion type usually has a bright, light palette and in both color and design is reminiscent of Kurdish weavings and certain Turkish village rugs. The 'Ordutch-Konagkend' pieces have strong affinities with Baku and other north Shirvan rugs, and the lattice type is the closest to the concept of design most normally associated with Kuba as well as having links with earlier groups of, principally Turkish, carpets. This rug has an animal decoration with small medallions in the field, and it is framed with a series of borders with combs, and floral motifs the overall composition is quite closely related to a group of soumak rugs with large medallions. The design of the rug is interpreted by our designers, and vivid colors are chosen for this rug.
