Antique Square Soumak Persian Multicolor 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional textile represents the finest tradition of soumak rugs, characterized by its unique flat-woven, weft-wrapped structure that grants the surface a subtle texture and remarkable durability. Such pieces are highly prized among collectors of antique rugs for their ethnographic authenticity and powerful graphic presence. The field is dominated by a complex, repeating geometric arrangement of octagonal medallions, set against a deep indigo ground. This dense, interlocking design creates a mesmerizing rhythm across the entire plane, typical of allover rugs where the pattern extends seamlessly from edge to edge without a central focal point. The palette is rich and saturated, utilizing traditional vegetable dyes to achieve a vibrant array of deep crimson, olive green, and brilliant azure.
