Antique Kula Turkish Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1820s. This exceptional Square example of Caucasian weaving represents the finest traditions of 19th-century tribal art. Its remarkable preservation and use of vibrant natural dyes distinguish it among comparable antique rugs from the period. The palette is defined by a rich, deeply saturated field color, utilizing sophisticated shades of madder red and a dense, almost black-brown ground. This deep background allows the secondary colors—cerulean blue, ivory, and shocking pink—to achieve maximum visual impact, making it a powerful example of brown earth tone color rugs. Characteristic of early Kula production, the design centers on a bold, stepped lozenge medallion filled with highly abstract, talismanic motifs.
