Antique Soumak Square Small Scatter Size Wool Multicolor Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of flat-woven artistry showcases the enduring strength of tribal Persian weaving. The Soumak technique, known for its looped, brocaded structure, creates a highly durable textile with a distinctive, textural surface that differs significantly from pile-woven antique rugs. The design is characterized by bold, highly stylized geometric motifs arranged in horizontal registers. Large, cruciform medallions dominate the field, framed by intricate, serrated edges and small, powerful tribal symbols. The composition is robust and symmetrical, reflecting the traditional vernacular patterns passed down through generations of Weavers in Persia.
