A deep indigo field is packed corner to corner with small polychrome geometric motifs — hooked diamonds, eight-pointed stars and serrated crosses in madder red, gold, ivory, soft green and blue — arranged in tidy diagonal rows so the whole surface shimmers like a mosaic. It is the dense, jewel-like field of a Caucasian Chi-Chi, one of the most disciplined of all tribal designs.

The field is framed by the border that gives the type its name: a camel-gold band of slanted bars alternating with rosettes, wrapped in ivory and red guard stripes of running stars and reciprocal motifs. Hand-knotted in Afghanistan in the Caucasian Kuba manner, it is finely and densely woven from wool, the indigo, madder and gold carrying a quiet depth.

Chi-Chi rugs are prized by collectors for the sheer control of their all-over pattern — hundreds of tiny motifs held in perfect order. Densely knotted and built to last, this medium piece is ideal as a richly detailed centrepiece or a layered accent. As a hand-made rug, it is one of a kind. The pile is fine, hand-clipped, with kilim ends.

Material: 100 percent hand-spun Afghan wool coloured with natural dyes, naturally rich in lanolin, which gives it softness, a subtle sheen, and a natural resistance to everyday dirt and spills.

Care instructions

Vacuum regularly on low suction without a rotating brush.
Rotate the rug occasionally so it wears and fades evenly.
Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth, working from the outside in, and do not rub.
Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect the colour.
Use a professional rug cleaner for any deep clean.
Light shedding is normal with new wool and settles within the first few months.

Chi-Chi rugs come from the Kuba region of the north-eastern Caucasus, and they are admired above all for their order. Where many tribal rugs improvise, the Chi-Chi weaver fills the whole field with rows of small, near-identical motifs — hooked diamonds and stars — set on the diagonal so the eye travels across the surface like reading lines of text. The signature is the border: a band of slanting bars alternating with rosettes, instantly recognisable to collectors. Woven in Afghanistan by hand from naturally dyed, hand-spun wool, the rug carries the subtle colour shifts and tiny irregularities that mark a piece made by a single weaver rather than a machine.
