{"product_id":"konagkend-shirvan-rug-1","title":"Konagkend Shirvan Rug","description":"The design source of the rug comes from the book \u003cstrong\u003eHow to Read - Islamic Carpets, Walter B. Denny, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York 2014 fig.87\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is a domestic carpet, village, and nomadic weaving in the late 19th century in the Shirvan 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 is an example of nomadic and village weaving often attaining a level of great artistry, exhibiting an almost breathtaking command of technique along with a marvelous sense of color, proportion, and artistic balance. It is framed with a series of borders, the main of which is the ‘\u003cem\u003eKufic style\u003c\/em\u003e’. The design of this rug is interpreted by our designers and soft colors are used for this rug. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e  11 colors in total;\u003cul\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Wool Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 320 (Specially Washed)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoss Green\u003c\/strong\u003e 27 (Spurge - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCongo Pink \u003c\/strong\u003e 306 (Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIroko \u003c\/strong\u003e 423 (Pomegranate - Walnut Husk)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNavy Blue \u003c\/strong\u003e 432 (Indigo - Pomegranate)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunray Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 405 (Henna)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePyrite Gold \u003c\/strong\u003e 128 (Spurge)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCeltic Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 (Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImperial Red \u003c\/strong\u003e 415 (Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNorfolk Green \u003c\/strong\u003e 449 (Reseda Luteola - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 442 (Madder Root )\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eFor more information about our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/colors\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecolors.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737968378152,"sku":"ART00579","price":2650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00579_V-scaled.jpg?v=1776849087","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/konagkend-shirvan-rug-1","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
