About the Item

Chi Chi rugs, with their rich variety of small-format geometric motifs which hermetically cover the field and borders, are considered some of the most elaborate Caucasian weavings. The midnight blue field of this piece, with a beautiful Abrash color gradient, is filled with an immaculately drawn Khyrdaghyd repeat design that is typical of the provenance and framed to good effect by a three-panel border section. The field includes hooked medallions, variations of different crosses, and other tribal motifs. The three-panel border contains polychrome rosettes on persimmon, and polychrome Lezghi stars on faded gold while the main border includes a traditional calyx-and-serrated-leaf design on a bright ivory that brings out the various colors of the rug into play. While Chi Chi rugs are often weaved in a navy-blue field, this rug appears to be a break from the norm with the introduction of a rare midnight blue color with cheerful colors in the border.
