About the Item

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.

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.
