Antique Tribal Chichi Caucasian Rug, 3'2" x 6'2", c-1880's, wool pile on wool foundation. In geometric design and multi color background.
Fine quality.
The rugs have an earthy feel and colors that seem to harmonize naturally. This antique rug could have easily been made for modern tastes, but it is steeped in ancient tribal traditions that go back centuries.
This name is believed to be derived from a Caucasian tribe, the Chechen, the design found association with a number of different weave patterns like Kuba, Baku, Daghestan and Shirvan.
Very unique and attractive 19th century rug.
