About the Item

This Early 20th century Central Asian Soumak rug, measuring 1' 11" x 3' 2", exemplifies the refined artistry and rich symbolism of the Soumak weaving tradition. Known for their flatwoven, tapestry-like texture, Soumak rugs are prized for their durability and detailed patterning. This piece features a striking lattice design across a deep indigo field, each compartment enclosing small geometric motifs and stylized rosettes rendered in warm tones of brick red, ochre, ivory, and soft brown. The arrangement conveys both rhythm and intricacy, balancing precision with the vibrant energy of tribal aesthetics. The borders enhance the visual harmony, with repeating geometric elements and protective symbols framed in complementary shades that echo the central field. Woven by nomadic weavers of the Caucasus and Central Asian regions, Soumak rugs embody a legacy of storytelling and cultural identity. This finely executed example serves as both a functional textile and a collectible work of art with historical depth.
