Soumak / 22707

This Soumak antique rug, 310 x 368 cm, presents an all-over geometric field softened by time, with stepped medallion forms, angular borders, and layered tribal ornament across a faded ground. The colour story moves between blue, cream, rust, taupe, and sage, creating a restrained contrast against the worn surface. Areas of abrasion and bleaching lend depth rather than distraction, allowing the original drawing to emerge in fragments. Circa 1920 - 1950, it reads as both structured and atmospheric, a textile with clear pattern and generous evidence of age. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
