This is a cross medallion design rug from the late 19th century, Seichur Kuba region, Caucasus area. \u003cem\u003eSeichur\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eSeichour\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eSeikhour\u003c\/em\u003e) is named after the most northerly town of the Kuba region, about thirty kilometers south of Daghestan. Like Chichi rugs, this group is characterized by the use of a particular border, usually in a predominantly duochromatic palette of blue and white. Although often described as a variant of the 'running dog', the principal motifs of this border seem to be an amalgam of 'wings' and 'torsos'; the depiction of a bird's head seems particularly clear. It is also called the \"Georgian border. The most common type of Seichur rug is fairly long eight to ten feet and narrow, with a composition consisting of a series of large '\u003cem\u003eSt. Andrew's Cross\u003c\/em\u003e' motifs with surrounding systems of stylized flowers, a design which, according to Kerimov, is called Ispigyulchichi or 'white flower'. The arrangement of the composition is usually in the form of a single vertical row of large crosses, although examples are known with a diagonal arrangement (cf. Hali, vol. 1, no. 4, p. 38 where this pattern reads vertically 1:2:1:2:1:2:1). Ground colors are usually dark blue or white. However, Seichur rugs with all-over floral compositions are frequently encountered and there is a well-known group with Western-style floral decoration similar to the Karabagh rugs. In some instances, the 'western' flowers appear only on the main border, the 'Seichur' border appearing as an outer minor border. The attribution of rugs with this powerful and distinctive design and colors to the Seichour region of Kuba now seems fairly universal. The design of the rug is interpreted by our designers, and vivid colors are chosen for this rug.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e \t10\tcolors in total;\t \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 316 (No Dye - Sheep’s Own Color) \u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGunmetal Blue \u003c\/strong\u003e 409 (Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Wool Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 320 (Specially Washed)\u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRufous \u003c\/strong\u003e 308 (Madders Root)\u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBengala Red \u003c\/strong\u003e 428 (Madder Root) \u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTawny Olive \u003c\/strong\u003e 538 (Dyer’s Weed - Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRussian Green \u003c\/strong\u003e 418 (Henna - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmerald Green  \u003c\/strong\u003e 407 (Chamomile - Indigo) \u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarrissma \u003c\/strong\u003e 161 (Cochineal) \u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePullman Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 542 (Walnut Husk - Henna - Pomegranate)\u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more information about our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/colors\/\"\u003ecolors\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\t\t\t","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700747206952,"sku":"ART00607","price":8520.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00607_V_v2.jpg?v=1776121927","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/seichur-kuba-rug-art00607","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
