Object Description

Antique Shirvan Soumac Flatweave Carpet

2.78 x 1.75 metres

Antique Soumac carpets from the Caucasus are exceptionally finely woven, showcasing richly detailed motifs, borrowed from ancient tribal symbols native to the region, and are highly sought after due to their expressive, playful character and use of natural dyed colours.

This stylish early example has a wonderful palette, with a soft terracotta ground, and sage green, soft blue and ivory tones in its design, all in gracefully aged vegetable dyes. This colour scheme works to compliment the grand-scale tribal drawing, featuring a stamped pattern across the field, creatively repeated in a variety of earthy colours.

This carpet is in very good practical condition for everyday use. The original borders are retained on all four sides, as are the original unopened fringes – remarkable for a rug around 120 years old.

A wonderful Shivan Soumak carpet, with a charming naivety which would make a welcome addition to a classic or contemporary setting.
