Antique Seychour
rug, Seychour-Perepedil district, Kuba, Shirwan province, N.E. Caucasus, Ca
1870-1880.
The main features of Seychour rugs are the large, dragon-like cross motifs,
often inside the "kufic" main border shared with other Kuba and Shirwan
districts. White ground is rare, the most common ground colours being dark
blue and madder red.This is a finely knotted example with a thin, almost
tapestry-like texture. There are small areas of repiling and abrash in
places but otherwise the rug is complete with original borders all around.
