Soumak / 20998

This Soumak antique rug measures 9' 0" x 11' 8" and presents a richly layered field of geometric medallions, small-scale motifs, and a tightly framed border structure. Wool in brick red, navy, cream, brown, and softened blue creates depth across the surface, where age has mellowed the contrast and left an appealingly lived-in character. The composition feels both ordered and intricate, with repeated forms building rhythm from edge to centre. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the tactile presence and graphic clarity that define a compelling antique rug, while its low distress preserves much of the original visual cadence.
