This antique rug originates from the Caucasian region and features the Soumak weaving technique, known for its tribal style. Crafted around 1910, it boasts an ivory background with a teal border, predominantly showcasing ivory as its main color. The rug is woven entirely from wool both in the pile and the foundation, a typical characteristic of Soumak rugs.
The Soumak technique involves a unique brocading or flat-weaving method, which results in a thicker structure compared to kilims. This weaving involves looping the yarn horizontally around pairs of warps, creating a textured surface that compresses to form the rug. The design diversity in Soumak rugs is notable, often including large medallions, repeated patterns, garden designs, and tribal symbols, many of which are associated with the Shahsavan tribe from the 17th century.
Historical context places Soumak weaving techniques with nomadic tribes in the Caucasus, especially the Shahsavan tribe from areas now part of Azerbaijan and Northwest Persia. The 19th century saw a rise in the production and export of these rugs, influenced by Russian policies of the time.
This particular Soumak rug features a complex and detailed pattern with a rich color palette. It has a prominent central medallion that is hexagonal with intricate geometric designs and motifs within it. The medallion is surrounded by smaller ornate patterns, including various animal figures such as camels and deer, woven intricately around it.
The primary colors used in this rug are red, blue, green, and white, with accents in brown, orange, and beige. These colors are used in various shades and tones to add depth and vibrance. The outer border is wider, featuring geometric shapes resembling diamonds or hexagons filled with smaller patterns. This border showcases the colors red, blue, green, and white predominately. There is also a narrower inner border filled with geometric patterns, acting as a transition between the central field and the outer border.
The design of this rug is highly symmetrical, with the central medallion serving as the focal point. The intricate and detailed weaving, combined with the durability and rich cultural significance, makes this Soumak rug a noteworthy example of Caucasian tribal art from the early 20th century.
