Antique Kuba Afshan Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

An Antique Kuba Afshan rug in fantastic original condition, with a soft lush wool pile. Kuba is a rug producing town located in the north-east of the Caucaus next to the Caspian Sea. The port of Baku in Kuba had its own school for carpet-making.  This Afshan design originated from this school in Baku's Khila village.  "Afshan" refers to a specific style that was adapted from the Tabriz Persian weaving school. An amazing Caucasian rug with great design history and a fantastic array of blues and greens colours.

Whereas Afshan carpets from Tabriz have soft, subtle colors without much variation, the Baku version of the Afshan design stands out in its use of contrasting colors: red, white, and dark blue. The wool carpet is decorated throughout with flowers; individual petals frame the edges.  This Caucasian piece also uses the common striped border design.

We offer the service of viewing any of our carpets & rugs in-situ in London, Surrey, Hampshire & the UK by appointment. Please contact us to arrange an appointment or to visit our barn showroom, we would love to welcome you here.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Kuba rugs originate from the northeast Caucasus region and are recognized for their intricate geometric patterns, fine hand-knotted construction, and dense field arrangements featuring stylized floral or star motifs on dark navy or ivory grounds.

These textiles were hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool yarn for both the pile and the foundation warp and weft, coloured with natural vegetable dyes to produce deep blues, terracottas, and creams.

Authentic pieces feature dense hand-knotted wool construction, visible natural dye variation known as abrash, and detailed multi-bordered frames surrounding geometric or lattice field arrangements typical of Caucasian weaving centres.

An antique tribal rug functions as a central grounding element on polished timber or stone floors, offering rich texture and historical pattern to balance neutral contemporary furniture.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar, rotate the rug periodically to distribute foot traffic evenly, and clean spills immediately by blotting with a damp cloth.
