About the Item
Late 19th Century Antique Caucasian Soumak Flatweave Rug, meticulously hand-woven in the Southern Caucasus region. This piece is a true masterpiece of village weaving, renowned for its robust construction and captivating aesthetic.
This Soumak rug features a compelling composition of three prominent main medallions, each intricately detailed and anchoring the design across its field. The true magic of this piece lies in the natural vegetable dyes used by its original artisans. Over more than a century, these dyes have matured beautifully, developing a rich and variegated palette of earthy and vibrant hues that are unique to this age-old tradition.
Soumak (also spelled Sumak, Sumac, or Soumac) is a highly specialized and strong tapestry weaving technique, distinct from other flatweaves like kilim. It results in a textile that is both incredibly durable and highly decorative, historically used for both floor coverings and domestic bags. Unlike kilim, which is soft on both sides and features slits where colors meet, Soumak produces a smooth, elegant front face with a slightly more rugged, shaggy back. This unique texture is achieved by wrapping colored supplementary weft threads over and under the warp threads continuously, building an embroidery-like pattern that adds remarkable strength and visual depth.

19th Century Persian Heriz Karajah Area Rug
Located in Barrington, IL
A beautifully preserved antique Heriz Karajeh area rug, handwoven in Northwest Persia circa the late 1800s. This piece features a refined geometric layout with three small medallions aligned vertically along the central axis, set against a deep navy blue field. The medallions display a striking palette of abrash-dyed blue, ivory, and pale green, surrounded by traditional tribal motifs in soft rust, sage green, and ivory tones.
The main border, rendered in a rich rust-red, frames the central composition with balance and warmth. Notable for its fine weaving technique and thoughtfully restrained color palette, this rug reflects the transitional qualities of late 19th-century Karajeh craftsmanship—blending tribal boldness with refined elegance.
This collectible piece is ideally suited for smaller spaces or as an anchor in layered interior schemes, offering heritage, charm, and visual sophistication.

19th Century Caucasian Soumak Rug Tapestry Wall Art
Located in Barrington, IL
This remarkable Shirvan Soumak from the Caucasus region of Asia is a rare and collectible textile composed of six individually designed panels, each showcasing its own distinct color palette and pattern. Woven using the traditional Soumak technique, this piece features naturally dyed wool, with vegetable-based pigments that have gracefully matured over time, resulting in a beautifully nuanced patina.
Unlike kilims, Soumak textiles are known for their thicker, more robust construction and embroidery-like detailing. The weaving technique—wrapping colored weft threads over warp yarns—produces a smooth face and a subtly textured back, creating both visual richness and lasting durability. Originally used for domestic bags and bedding storage (known as Mafrash), this type of weaving is now celebrated as collectible art.
Whether displayed as a wall tapestry or integrated into a curated interior design, this Shirvan Soumak brings authenticity, artistry, and the enduring spirit of nomadic life into your space. A treasured heirloom-quality piece for collectors, connoisseurs, and designers alike.
