Soumak / 21277

This Soumak antique rug, measuring 3' 1" x 8' 9", carries a layered field of diamond medallions, floral stars, and finely worked borders in brown, cream, rust, and blue. The surface shows low but honest wear, with softened pattern edges and visible age throughout, giving the piece a dry, tactile presence. Its long format and dense ornament feel balanced yet relaxed, with the compositional rhythm remaining intact from end to end. Circa 1900 - 1915, this wool Soumak reads as both graphic and weathered, with a quiet warmth that comes forward through the muted ground and irregular patina.
