Soumak / 21293

This Soumak antique rug in wool measures 231 x 318 cm and presents a dense, tribal arrangement with an age-softened surface. A rust ground is worked with navy, cream, ochre, and muted blue motifs, including stacked octagonal forms, small floral details, and patterned borders that give the piece its layered rhythm. Wear has gently faded the colours and lifted the texture, leaving a grounded, timeworn character across the field. Circa 1880 - 1910, it reads as heritage-rich, structured, and quietly atmospheric. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
