About the Item
Antique Azerbaijan Large Rug — Bag Soumak Kilim
Approx. 4′1″ × 5′ (124 × 152 cm) • Stock #14154
This exceptional antique Azerbaijan Bag Soumak kilim is a striking example of traditional Caucasian flat-weave artistry, combining bold geometric rhythm with refined colorwork. Crafted in the 20th century by nomadic or semi-nomadic weavers of the Azerbaijan region, this piece reflects the cultural interchange and stylistic confidence of Transcaucasian textile traditions.
Design
Motifs
The composition is anchored by commanding geometric medallions and hooked “elibelinde” patterns — symbols often associated with fertility, protection, and the weaver’s personal narrative. Crisp linear borders frame the central field, creating a dynamic visual tension that makes this piece equally compelling on the floor or hung as a wall kilim.
Technique
Texture
Woven using the soumak technique — a supplementary-weft flatweave known for its rich, slightly raised texture — this kilim has remarkable structural integrity and a tactile dimensionality rare in pieces of this size. Unlike plain kilims, soumak weaves create a tapestry-like surface that’s both durable and visually sumptuous.
Color Palette
Deep blue and red tones mingle with earthy rust, and creamy ivories, all achieved with hand-dyed wool that has mellowed beautifully with age. The hues retain a vibrant harmony, giving the piece warmth and character while integrating gracefully into both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Condition
Overall excellent for an antique textile of this scale. The weave remains tight and stable, with soft abrash that enriches the surface and speaks to authentic handcraft and natural dye variation. Any wear is consistent with age and use, lending patina without compromising visual impact or performance.
Why It’s Special
• Rare size
format — full-scale Bag kilims in this dimension are uncommon, especially in soumak technique
• Artisanal heritage — a living link to Azerbaijan’s weaving traditions and nomadic cultural expression
• Versatile styling — floorpiece, wall hanging, or layered in modern interiors for global eclectic flair
