Soumak / 21957

This Soumak antique rug, 221 x 356 cm, balances a deep navy geometric framework against ivory, beige, coral pink and muted gold details. The design moves between central medallion forms, octagonal floral devices and small scattered motifs, all contained by a bold, serrated border that gives the whole piece a firm visual edge. Its wool surface shows low distress, with gentle fading and age-related softness that enrich the pattern rather than diminishing it. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reads as a calm but expressive Soumak weave, full of texture, restraint and graphic clarity.
