Soumak / 12387

A quietly restrained Soumak runner woven in wool, its soft cream and ivory ground punctuated by a procession of geometric medallions and finely worked repeat motifs. The neutral palette reads pale, warm and tactile; subtle color shifts and a muted, weathered patina reveal long use and careful handling. Medium distress has softened contrast and produced a low-sheen surface that invites touch while preserving crisp medallion outlines and a narrow, patterned guard border. The weave retains a quietly graphic composition typical of Soumak technique, an antique rug with a calm, linen-like presence. Circa 1900 - 1920. Measures 3' 9" x 10' 0".
