Soumak / 20998

This Soumak antique rug measures 274 x 356 cm and offers a richly layered field of geometric medallions, small-scale motifs, and a closely worked border structure. Wool in brick red, navy, cream, brown, and softened blue gives the surface depth, while age has gently mellowed the contrast and left an evocative lived-in character. The composition feels both disciplined and intricate, with repeated forms creating rhythm across the centre and frame. Circa 1900 - 1920, it holds the tactile presence and graphic clarity associated with a compelling antique rug, and its low distress preserves much of the original visual cadence.
