Antique Square Soumak Small Scatter Size Wool Multicolor, Red Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional piece represents the finest traditions of soumak rugs, characterized by its durable, non-piled construction. Woven in Persia during a period of great artistic transition, this square scatter rug showcases a rich, saturated palette typical of tribal production from the early 20th century. The field is dominated by a complex arrangement of interlocking medallions and stylized motifs rendered primarily in deep indigo, earthy brown, and vibrant madder red. The design relies heavily on strong, repetitive forms, placing it firmly within the category of geometric rugs. This intricate patterning is achieved through the Soumak technique, which involves wrapping weft threads around warp threads, creating a textural, brocade-like surface.
