Soumak / 18966

This Soumak antique rug measures 213 x 335 cm and carries a restrained yet characterful palette of brick red, rust, camel, charcoal, muted olive, and softened blue. The design pairs a strong panelled border with a weathered central field, where floral ornaments and geometric forms appear in a mellow, irregular rhythm. Low distress leaves the surface gently worn, with fading that settles into the wool and softens the overall reading. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reflects the visual richness and heritage texture associated with a finely aged wool Soumak. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
