About the Item

Discover the exceptional artistry and rich heritage of this magnificent Mid-20th Century Vintage Turkmen Yomut Soumak Rug. Woven in the mid-1900s in Central Asia, this piece is a testament to the masterful tribal art of the Yomut weavers. This rug is created using the unique Soumak tapestry technique, a robust and decorative flat weave that is thicker and more durable than a traditional kilim. The weaving technique involves wrapping colored weft threads over and under the warp threads, adding both strength and an intricate, embroidery-like pattern. Unlike kilims, Soumak weaving lacks the characteristic slits, resulting in a smooth front face and a textured back. The main field of this Yomut Soumak is a rich and vibrant red, providing a powerful and inviting backdrop for its beautiful all-over geometric design. The intricate geometric motifs are rendered in a sophisticated palette of deep dark blue and luminous cream, creating a captivating contrast against the red field. Woven with a wool foundation and a plush wool pile, this rug is a beautifully created tribal textile with a powerful sense of authenticity and history. This Vintage Turkmen Yomut Soumak rug is an ideal acquisition for interior design professionals, discerning collectors, and homeowners seeking an authentic vintage masterpiece that infuses their space with profound historical significance, powerful artistic expression, and enduring elegance.

Soumak (also spelled Soumakh, Sumak, Sumac, or Soumac) is a tapestry technique of weaving strong and decorative textiles used as rugs and domestic bags. Bags used for carrying the bedding are known as Soumak Mafrash. Soumak is a type of flat weave, somewhat resembling but more robust and thicker than kilim, with a smooth front face and a ragged back, whereas kilim is soft on 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 an embroidery-like pattern.
