Soumak / 21294

This Soumak antique rug measures 8' 1" x 12' 3" and presents a richly worked field of geometric motifs in deep blue, terracotta, brown, and softened ivory. The composition is balanced by a strong central medallion, flanked by smaller octagonal compartments and repeated star forms, while the border holds the design in a steady frame. Wool texture and low distress give the surface a pleasing, timeworn clarity. Circa 1920 - 1940, it carries the layered character and weathered depth that define a well-preserved antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
