About the Item

This early 20th-century Konagkend Soumak rug from the Kuba region is a symphony of geometry and folklore, with a chain of octagonal medallions dancing across a sea of deep indigo and madder red. Nestled discreetly in the upper field is the hand-woven date “1344” in Arabic numerals — marking its creation in 1925–26 and granting it the quiet gravitas of a century-old heirloom. A mix of jewel-toned blues, golds, and soft greens pop from the madder-red ground, giving the entire piece a lively, almost musical rhythm. It’s sophisticated, yes — but it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that’s what makes it sing. Woven in the highland Shirvan or Kuba regions of the South Caucasus (modern-day Azerbaijan), this Soumak is a rare testament to early 20th-century craftsmanship. Its sturdy flatweave is tougher than a kilim, and its richly dyed palette reflects the mastery of form and meaning found in rugs once woven for local nobility. Size: 9′8″ × 10′4″ Thickness: Roughly 0.2″ Rug Type: Soumak / Flatweave Material: Hand-knotted, hand-spun wool weave on a wool foundation Colors: Madder red, deep indigo, ivory, gold, pistachio green, light blue, coral, navy, soft pink Origin: South Caucasus — Azerbaijan Year: 1925 Condition: Professionally cleaned and well preserved. Shows gentle age-related wear and subtle color mellowing consistent with its age. Minor, expert repairs on small areas of the fringes stabilize the edges. In perfect condition overall.
