76999 Vintage Persian Soumak Rug, 03'09 x 06'10. 

Persian Soumak rugs are traditional flat-woven textiles originating from the Caucasus region and parts of Persia (modern-day Iran). They are distinguished by their unique weaving technique, which creates a dense, flat surface without a pile. This technique involves wrapping weft threads tightly over and under warp threads, resulting in sturdy, intricately designed rugs. Soumak rugs typically feature bold geometric patterns, stylized floral motifs, and sometimes tribal or animal designs, all rendered in a vibrant color palette characteristic of the region. They are primarily crafted from wool, known for its durability and ability to showcase intricate patterns effectively. Historically used as floor coverings and decorative pieces, Persian Soumak rugs continue to be prized today for their craftsmanship and decorative appeal in both traditional and contemporary settings. 

This hand-woven vintage Persian Soumak rug presents a mesmerizing tableau of ancient symbolism, showcased in a series of horizontal bands adorned with intricate tribal motifs that speak to centuries of cultural heritage. Each motif intricately woven into the rug tells a story, reflecting the artisan's mastery and the region's rich weaving traditions. The vibrant hues and precise craftsmanship enhance its allure, drawing the eye to the rug's detailed patterns and textures. Encircled by meticulously crafted guard bands, this Soumak rug not only embodies traditional Persian artistry but also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of hand-woven textiles, inviting admiration for its historical significance and timeless beauty in any space it adorns.
