About the Item

Athos One-of-one Over-sized Palatial antique sumac textile About: We simply will not come across another piece like this; age, the powerful tri-medallion design, the countless nomadic village and symbolic geometric motifs, perfectly age-given patina and condition, most of the original natural wool foundation of the kilim and salvaged ends are intact, the natural dyes have aged and softened perfectly, organic abrash and shifts of dyes from small-batch dyes, oxidized charcoal-espresso dyes from age, sensational neutral and tone-on-tone hues poke through where the wool has worn and all is shown is the goat-hair foundation still all intact, and of course the impossible to ignore size, just to name a few. Looking closely you will see the pinwheels of life, Harshang inspired motifs, mountain motifs running along, S hook motifs representing connection and unity, running water in one of the borders which is an ode to source and life, amongst other things, and so many other motifs that provide such a deep and character-rich textile. Incredible and rare indigo/navy blue field, wonderful rich yet matured reds, with ice and french blues, camel and earthy charcoal/espresso, antique beige, pops of pinky-salmon, sensational forest and greens, and more. Like all sumacs and flatweaves, this piece has a wonderful floppy handle and feel, and a custom-cut pad will add a nice body to it. This is truly a beautiful beast, with an all-encompassing nature to her. She is a true gem, and all in all, a real example of nomadic art that captures the essence of what these villagers and weavers do as artisans and lifelong masters of their craft. Size: 10 x 13.4 Age: Century-Old C. 1910 Pile: Low with incredible patina with relatively nominal ancient old repairs. This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one in the world, no others are available. Because of the nature and age of these older/antique handmade pieces - irregularities, ancient old repairs/touch-ups, and age-related wear are likely to exist and are not considered defects. This rug is also available with a custom cut pad (sold separately).
