About the Item

Soumak is a tapestry technique of weaving strong and decorative textiles used as rugs and domestic bags. It is a type of flat-weave, somewhat resembling but stronger and thicker than Kilim, with a smooth front face and a ragged back, where Kilim is smooth both sides. Soumak lacks the slits characteristic of Kilim, as it is usually woven with supplementary weft threads as continuous supports. The technique involves wrapping colored weft threads over and under the warp threads, adding strength and embroidery-like pattern. This antique Caucasian Soumak carpet measures 4.9 x 8.4 ft and is from the 1920s.

Vintage Persian Joshegan Area Rug in All-Over Geometric Pattern in Red, Blue
Located in Barrington, IL
Discover the distinctive charm and intricate artistry of this Vintage Persian Joshegan Area Rug, a remarkable handwoven piece from the 1920s Iran. This amazing rug originates from Joshegan, a town southwest of Kashan renowned for its recognizable all-over 'diamond' patterns. The rug features a captivating rust red background, providing a warm and earthy foundation for its complex design. Elegant French blue corner spandrels beautifully frame the central field. The main design is a remarkably unique all-over interconnected sub-geometric pattern, predominantly composed of intricate diamond shapes rendered in a rich palette of red, French blue, and dark blue. At its heart, the rug features a stepped central lozenge medallion, adorned with a classic cross motif and delicate Tree of Life florals. Further enhancing the field and spandrels is a repeated pattern of the evocative "Weeping Willow Trees" or "Tree of Life" design, presented in various harmonious colors including serene blue, verdant green, classic red, creamy ivory, soft pink, and warm orange. This symbolic motif adds depth and narrative to the design. The entire composition is elegantly enclosed by a rectilinear palmette Meander border, gracefully flanked by inner and outer double guard bands. Subsidiary crenelated fence border stripes further define the edges, showcasing the meticulous detail and sophisticated structure characteristic of Joshegan weaving. This vintage Joshegan rug is an ideal acquisition for interior design professionals, home decorators, and individual customers seeking an authentic antique masterpiece that combines historical significance, intricate geometric artistry, and a rich, vibrant color story.
