About the Item
This handmade antique Caucasian Soumak rug is a visual symphony of deep indigo, brick red, and touches of ivory that pulse with energy and timeworn charm.
The octagonal medallions dance down the center like bold exclamations, each one woven with tribal motifs and framed by playful geometry. At an imperial size of 10′4″ × 14′5″, this is no ordinary rug—it was almost certainly made for a noble household, and the proud “1841” inscription woven into its field only deepens its aristocratic mystique. It’s both grounded and electric, like a story told by someone with a knowing smile and a wild past.
Woven in the mountainous Shirvan or Kuba region of the South Caucasus—now part of Azerbaijan—this Soumak rug is a rare survivor of 19th-century craftsmanship. Its flatweave construction is more durable than a kilim, and its rich palette of natural dyes reveals a mastery of both form and symbolism typical of commissioned pieces for the local elite. Large-format Soumak rugs of this age and provenance are exceptionally scarce, placing this piece among the most collectible examples of Caucasian weaving artistry.
