They were popular among midcentury modern designers as a complement to more streamlined furniture styles of the time. Today, they fit into a wider range of contemporary styles, but they are still the perfect match for softening the look of an ultramodern interior with geometric shapes and simple lines. Regardless of your style, this rug is a beautiful piece that will add character to your space.

A veritable flock of geometric figures marches along this antique Caucasian Kuba kilim flat weave rug, each nearly touching its neighbor, a breath away from interlocking. The shapes are rendered in white, red, blue and black, accented with orange, green and yellow in their interior decorations. Cleverly hatched line-work creates a distinctive visual effect, shifting each shape relative to the red hue that forms the background. Detailed with simple, stark outlines, a variety of small shapes cluster around the larger figures of the pattern. A black border, edged with blurred lines of blue, surrounds the central field. A simple but eye-catching red-trimmed white pattern forms a chain around the antique rug, bright against the dark shade of that outer band.
