Soumak / 20927

This Soumak antique rug measures 241 x 312 cm and balances a warm rust ground with indigo, blue, brown, and pale neutral accents. The composition unfolds in a geometric allover pattern, anchored by bold central medallion forms and surrounded by smaller tribal motifs that keep the surface lively. A narrow angular border contains the design with measured clarity, while the wool pile shows gentle age-softening and visible abrash. Circa 1900 - 1935, it has the settled character and low distress that give an antique weaving its depth and restraint. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
