Floral Lattice Design Kuba Runner

JBOC attribution Oriental Rug > Caucasian Rugs > Kuba Rugs

Age: circa 1945 Dimensions:  313cm x 120cm torn and cut in the middle Knots: symmetric open to the right, 3-4mm Density:  H 30/10cm  V34/10cm 1020/dm² Warps: tightly spun tan wool Z2S  Warp depression 60° ribbed back Weft: white cotton  2 shoots Selvedges: flat, two cords of two warps wrapped in figure eight with light blue wool Ends: missing Colors: mixture of natural and chemical dyes; oxidized black, blue marine with abrash, light blue, aniline red, crude chemical orange and pink, aubergine, white, camel (perhaps natural camel hair), medium brown, saffron, chemical light green Comments: I think that this rug is from Kuba on base of the design, the flat blue selvedges the structure and especially the warp depression around 60°. A Daghestan origin can't be ruled out but usually these rugs have a warp depression over 70° and are more tightly woven.
