Antique Soumak Persian 1900s Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional textile exemplifies the masterful flat-weaving tradition of Iranian / Persian rugs. Soumak is a brocaded technique that creates a durable, non-piled surface, allowing the weaver's skill in color placement and motif definition to shine through with exceptional clarity. The rich palette of deep indigo, madder red, and natural wool tones immediately establishes its vintage authenticity. The design is highly structured, featuring two distinct, mirrored panels separated by a field of plain, oxidized wool. Within the panels, the composition is dominated by striking geometric patterns and powerful medallions, rendered in bold, contrasting colors. These tribal motifs are tightly framed by multiple narrow borders, emphasizing the powerful symmetry inherent in the piece's construction.
