The weave is made with cotton, although rugs with weaves made of wool or a combination of wool and goat hair are also found. The pile is shiny, made with sheep&#8217;s wool and is left short on the rug, but at the same time, it is a pile that remains firm to the touch. The knot used is symmetrical.<br \/>\nThe design of Chichi rugs is usually formed by a mosaic of rose windows or rows of geometric figures, most often stars or octagons spread across a blue field and flanked by a series of wide, symmetrical borders with geometric patterns. The edges are unique and characterize the pattern of Chichi rugs. They consist of bars alternating with colored flowers on a brown or black background.<\/p>\n<p>Antique Chichi rugs, one of the most popular types of Kuba rugs \u2013 are coveted by collectors. Among the various styles of rugs identified as Caucasian, Chichi rugs stand out not only because they are among the finest knotted rugs of this genre, but because the artists developed unique designs and were skilled in the harmonious combination of colors.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"fig-auto-img\" style=\"margin:2.4em auto;text-align:center;\"><span class=\"fig-mat\" style=\"display:inline-flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;box-sizing:border-box;width:300px;height:300px;max-width:100%;background:transparent;padding:0;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"893\" src=\"https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/sothebys-com.brightspotcdn-917x1024-nobg.webp\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/sothebys-com.brightspotcdn-917x1024-nobg.webp 917w, https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/sothebys-com.brightspotcdn-scaled-1200x1340.webp 1200w, https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/sothebys-com.brightspotcdn-269x300.webp 269w, https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/sothebys-com.brightspotcdn-768x857.webp 768w, https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/sothebys-com.brightspotcdn-1376x1536.webp 1376w, https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/sothebys-com.brightspotcdn-1835x2048.webp 1835w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" style=\"display:block;max-width:100%;max-height:100%;width:auto;height:auto;\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<p data-figalli-links=\"guide-en\"><strong>See the collection:<\/strong> browse our <a href=\"\/en\/categorias\/caucasians\/\">antique Caucasian rugs<\/a> &mdash; for example, <a href=\"\/en\/product\/chichi-kuba-northeast-caucasus\/\">Chichi Kuba<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-figalli-related=\"1\"><strong>Related reading:<\/strong> <a href=\"\/en\/rug-education\/how-to-recognise-a-shirvan-rug\/\">How to Recognise a Shirvan Rug<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/en\/rug-education\/how-to-recognise-a-gendje-rug\/\">How to Recognise a Gendje Rug<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/en\/rug-education\/concise-history-of-armenian-rug-production\/\">Concise History of Armenian Rug Production<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/en\/rug-education\/the-pazyryk-carpet-the-oldest-carpet-in-the-world\/\">The Pazyryk Carpet \u2013 The Oldest Carpet in the World!<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/en\/rug-education\/what-makes-silk-rugs-exceptional\/\">What Makes Silk Rugs Exceptional?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","tipo-de-tapetes":[206],"class_list":["post-11926","guia-tapetes","type-guia-tapetes","status-publish","hentry","tipo-de-tapetes-chichi-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/figalli.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guia-tapetes\/11926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/figalli.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guia-tapetes"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/figalli.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/guia-tapetes"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/figalli.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guia-tapetes\/11926\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20035,"href":"https:\/\/figalli.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guia-tapetes\/11926\/revisions\/20035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/figalli.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tipo-de-tapetes","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/figalli.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipo-de-tapetes?post=11926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
