Antique Soumak Persian Geometric Flat Weave Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional textile is a prime example of soumak rugs, characterized by its complex, non-piled flat weave structure. Originating from the nomadic and village traditions of Iranian Persian rugs, this piece showcases the rugged durability and powerful design sensibility inherent in tribal weaving. The composition is distinctly divided: the upper section features tightly rendered geometric fields filled with repeating diamond and stepped motifs, while the lower section transitions into broad, horizontal bands of color. Its narrow dimensions suggest it may have served as a runner or a specialized small scatter size piece, perhaps intended for a specific domestic or ceremonial use within the tribal context.
