Middle Eastern Silk Soumak Flat-Weave Rug

Description

Middle Eastern Silk Soumak Flat-Weave Rug
20th century
Vntage Silk Verneh Soumak flat-weave rug, highly prized for its intricate hand-woven embroidery and pictorial tribal design. It utilizes the Soumak method, a flat-weaving technique that wraps supplementary weft threads over warp strands. This produces a highly durable, structured, non-pile finish with a distinctive braided texture. These pieces traditionally originate from tribal weaving regions (such as the Shahsavan or Caucasian/Anatolian borderlands) and are renowned for their highly expressive geometric folk art. The design features a multi-paneled layout adorned with stylized bird and animal motifs (frequently storks, peacocks, and quadrupeds) nestled alongside geometric trees of life. Loose, shaggy fringes and exposed threads to verso, confirming hand-weaving.
L (approx, w/o tassels) 72" x W 48.25"
