Beautiful Antique Tribal Caucasian Kuba Runner Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Caucasian Rugs, Circa Date: 1900 – Though it features a lighter color palette, this attractive Caucasian Kuba runner rug still effectively creates a starry environment that dazzles and entices. Fascinatingly, the runner uses color according to theme more often than according to solidity, resulting in different sections featuring ambient collections rather than clearly defined tones. The largest border features warmer tones that include cream and red, while the surrounding outline borders use cooler and darker tones of blue and indigo to create a gorgeous nightscape. Those same colors are used at the antique rug’s center, where the background creates effective contrast against the flowers and petals at the foreground. Here, in this tribal and beautiful antique Caucasian rug, different blossoms and blooms stand out in a vertically symmetrical arrangement. These vivacious perennials display bright colors that stand out against the nightscape, not unlike glinting stars that shine above the earth.
