Late 19th Century 1890's Antique Caucasian Soumak Rug, 08'06 x 11'05

About the Item

78953 Antique Caucasian Soumak Rug, 08'06 x 11'05. This enchanting antique Caucasian Soumak rug, handwoven from wool, exemplifies the artisanal artistry and intricate craftsmanship for which the Soumak style is renowned. With its visually captivating woven technique, the Caucasian Soumak rug features a striking palette of deep reds, sky blues, and rich earth tones, elegantly arranged in bold geometric patterns. Its design highlights three large central medallions surrounded by intricate octagonal motifs and star-shaped medallions, all accentuated by intricate tribal symbols. The esoteric tribal border of the rug is as impressive as the field, with its densely packed smaller geometric pattern of Bereket motifs and stylized stars, creating a balanced and harmonious composition. A running dog outer guard band adds the finishing touch. The Soumak technique is distinguished by its flat-woven structure and is known for its durable yet supple texture. Unlike kilims, which have a smooth surface, Soumak rugs showcase a unique braided appearance due to their weft wrapping around the warp, adding dimension and character to the design. The intricate knotting gives this antique Caucasian Soumak rug its long-lasting strength, making it both a decorative and functional piece. The tactile quality of this Soumak is further enhanced by the small, subtle variations in color and texture, a hallmark of authentic handwoven tribal rugs. This particular Soumak rug is steeped in cultural symbolism. The geometric motifs and medallions are not only aesthetically pleasing but also reflect ancient tribal traditions and beliefs. The central medallions may represent protective symbols, believed to guard the home from negative energies, while the octagonal patterns are often associated with harmony and balance in life. The intricate motifs and designs along the borders are rich with stories of the Caucasus region, where this style of rug was predominantly woven by nomadic tribes. With its striking colors and nomadic charm, this rug offers a commanding presence that would anchor any room with a profound sense of history and elegance. Its intricate patterns and laid-back luxury vibe make it a versatile piece, suitable for various interior design styles, from traditional and rustic to more contemporary settings seeking a touch of relaxed refinement. This antique Soumak rug is not only a work of art but a testament to the skill of the weaver, reflecting the cultural heritage and artistic traditions of the Caucasus tribes. Abrash. Age Wear.
