Description

Dating to the last quarter of the 19th century, this is a classic example of a desirable group of Caucasian weavings which is becoming increasingly hard to find. Exquisite natural dyes and fine wool have been used. The triple medallions, often seen on soumacs, are beautifully drawn and are framed in the field by the ubiquitous yellow octagons and mysterious 'rocket-type' motifs. An additional element to the field design are the stylised floral ornaments. The narrow geometric border has the classic wine glass motif but with an unusual hook-like form, a rare feature that may appeal to the collector. Professionally cleaned and restored to a high stand this is a beautiful work of art, ideal either for a floor or wall.

Date of Manufacture

Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this Antique Caucasian Soumac Carpet to the 1880s.

FAQs

Soumac is a flatweave carpet technique characterised by a stacked, wrap-stitch weave that creates a heavier, more durable structure than a standard kilim, traditionally produced by nomadic tribes in the Caucasus region.

Authentic pieces from this period typically utilise hand-spun wool for both the foundation and the pile or weave, dyed using natural vegetable and mineral colourants such as madder root and indigo.

Authentication involves examining the structural weave on the reverse side, identifying natural colour variations known as abrash, observing hand-spun wool characteristics, and noting characteristic geometric tribal motifs.

Such textiles anchor contemporary spaces by providing warmth, texture, and historical contrast against minimalist furniture, polished concrete, or neutral hardwood floors.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialised cleaning when necessary, avoidance of direct prolonged sunlight, and the use of a breathable rug underlay.
