This Soumak antique rug, measuring 213 x 259 cm, pairs a warm rust field with navy, cream, brown, and neutral tones in a bold geometric arrangement. Repeated octagonal medallions anchor the composition, while smaller floral details, angular crosses, and a stepped border create a clear sense of order and movement. The pile shows low distress, with softened colour, visible patina, and more pronounced wear in the upper section that adds to its lived-in surface. Circa 1900 - 1925, it carries the grounded, heritage-led presence associated with the Soumak category. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
