Perpedil Kuba Rug from James C. Allen
Perpedil or Pirebedil' rug

This is a classic Vurma style Perpedil rug.Perpedil, or Perepedil rugs come from the village of Pirebedil in the former Kuba Khanate in Northeast Azerbaijan.

Jim has the odd habit of displaying details of the back sideways. But he takes good clear closeups so I forgive him. Note the ribs in the back running from side to side. This is typical of Kuba rugs and in particular Lezghi rugs.

Description
Here is a 19th century Kuba Perpedil type measuring 47 X 59 inches. This weaving has a Kufic border and probably dates to the end of the 19th century. The elaborate woven end finishes are present on both ends. The selvage's are original.

The dyes are vegetable with one or two synthetics used in small amounts. The so called rams horns design has long been a favorite with collectors and this example is extremely finely woven at a knot density of 160 KPSI.

There is a strong abrash on one end that seems to be more of a complete change in the weavers mind than any change in the color of different wool lots.

There is a small bunching of a small fold and there is a loss of some dozen knots from this area. This is a great rug for a special present or the first rug in a budding rug collection.
