Circa: 1910.
This antique Sumak rug, circa 1910, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind Caucasian weaving distinguished by its bold tribal geometry and beautifully time-softened palette. The ivory field is animated by stacked polygonal medallions, latch-hook motifs, and richly patterned borders in saturated indigo, rust, and gold, showcasing the graphic artistry collectors prize in early Sumak pieces. Its aged character and striking symmetry make it an ideal centerpiece for a living room, office, or dining area.
Faded warm tones of ivory, indigo, rust, crimson, gold, charcoal, saffron, and teal, with a ivory field.

Soumak (also Sumak or Soumakh) is a flatweave technique in which supplementary weft threads are wrapped around warp threads in a continuous forward-and-back motion, creating a smooth, slightly ridged surface with a characteristic herringbone texture on the reverse. The technique originated in the Caucasus and is named for the town of Shemakha in Azerbaijan.
Soumak rugs are woven across the Caucasus, Iran, and Central Asia, with the most celebrated antique examples coming from the Shirvan and Kuba districts. Their bold geometric designs — large medallions, star forms, animal and human figures — are rendered with a precision made possible by the technique's fine resolution. They wear exceptionally well and are prized both as floor coverings and wall hangings.
