Beautiful Geometric Antique Caucasian Soumak Rug 50729 Country of Origin / Rug Type: Caucasian Rugs, Circa Date: 1920 – Though not as simple as many other antique tribal Caucasian flat weave Soumak rugs, this masterpiece features unique elements that seem to be borrowed from more ornate antique Persian rugs. By establishing an earthy color palette, the artist who created this awesome antique tribal Caucasian area rug is able to convey a clear sense of grounding without using too many sharp lines or angular elements. Beautifully flowing flowers and petals dance across the surface, unifying the exquisitely detailed borders with the center of the flat woven rug. Complementing the clay brown tones, several colors come together in this remarkable antique rug to add variety to the palette, including dark, rich blue, gentle, flowing beige and elegant, attention-grabbing red.
