{"product_id":"chichi-kuba-rug-with-kufic-border","title":"Chichi Kuba Rug with Kufic Border","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe design source of the rug comes from the book\u003cb\u003e Oriental Rugs Volume 1 Caucasian, Ian Bennett, Oriental Textile Press, Aberdeen 1993, nr.360\u003c\/b\u003e. The alternating row of octagons and spiky stylized flowers are typical of a group called Khirdagyd-Chichi, from the late 19th century, Village of Chicli, Kuba region, Caucasus area. It is framed with a series of borders, the main of which is the “Kufic border”. The design of the rug is interpreted by our designers, and soft colors are chosen for this rug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA group of finely woven rugs, the field composition consisting of a tight overall series of geometric and floral motifs, is attributed to the village of Chichi, about thirty kilometers southeast of Kuba. This village is presumed to be, or have been, inhabited by descendants of the Chechens, a tribe that once inhabited much of the north-east Caucasus but which was, apparently, forcibly moved to central Asia by the Soviet authorities in 1943.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the most distinctive feature of Chichi rugs is the border, which often consists of a continuous diagonal and rosette pattern, which can be seen in all the examples except those rugs which Kerimov, followed by Schürmann, called 'Khirdagyd-Chichi'. This does not mean, of course, that all rugs with this border design are necessarily Chichi; indeed, many authorities prefer a less defined attribution and describe them simply as north-east Caucasian. Others find little to distinguish them from the main body of Daghestan prayer rugs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 colors in total; \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCocoa Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 109 (No Dye - Sheep's Color)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImperial Red \u003c\/strong\u003e 415 (Madder Root) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Wool Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 320 (No Dye - Specially Washed)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDusty Turquoise \u003c\/strong\u003e 340 (Spurge - Madder Root - Indigo - Walnut Husk) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBurlywood \u003c\/strong\u003e 135 (Spurge - Madder Root) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e Kumera \u003c\/strong\u003e 326 (Pomegranate - Spurge - Madder Root) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJericho Jade\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 (Spurge - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArable Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 430 (Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMandarian Orange\u003c\/strong\u003e 529 (Madder Root - Walnut Husk)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYellow Green\u003c\/strong\u003e 419 (Henna - Indigo) \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more information about our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/colors\/\"\u003eColors\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700746649896,"sku":"ART00719","price":3530.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00719_V_v2.jpg?v=1776121903","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/chichi-kuba-rug-with-kufic-border","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
