We are going to se this rug on Friday. Is it a real Kuba, Konakhend (soerry I butchered the name) of 19 C. era. It has a date of 1313 which translates to 1895?? Thanks!!

Ok let me start by saying that I don't know my Caucasians very well but I think it is a kuba and I think the date is right. I would have thought that if you can get it below $1500 you have got a good deal, unless you want to sell it on. But I don't like the colours that much, which will make it difficult to sell on.

Sharafi,
Thanks so much for your reply. This rug is up for sale at an auction-- the same auction house where I bought all of those Indians masquerading as Persian. So I wanted to be very careful not to buy another Indian or Pakistan facsimile. My husband loves Caucasian rugs, but I like the Persians and we have a couple of really old 19 Century Caucasians (Shirvan and Kuba Divichi district) I posted a while back that are beautiful, but beat up. I will try to sell these on one of the sites... maybe RugRabbit and replace with this one. My daughter joined RugRabbit and got me a book on Azerbaijani Caucasian Rugs-- which is great !!!!
Thanks again!!!
