Treasured for their awe-inspiring weaving technique, this tribal and striking Kilim is bold and beautiful, featuring geometric art and powerful symbolism throughout. This vintage piece, from the mid-20th century, is in excellent condition. What makes this particular Soumak stand out is it is a stunner with eagle art swagger.
This flat weave brings bold tribal geometry, saturated dyes, and that gorgeous abrash that only age can paint. Woven in the Soumak technique…the design yarns are weft-wrapped over the foundation to create a textured, braid-like face that’s beefier than a kilim and made to work. You’ll see powerful the Eagle art (the larger medallions in the field) as well as latch-hook motifs, stars and ram’s-horn energy, all framed by lively borders. Streaks of abrash ripple through the blues like watercolor…the beautiful mark of hand dyed wool.
Low profile…lays flat…in really nice condition for its age. Tough and durable for real life underfoot…entry, hallway, dining, you name it. If you’ve been craving a true Caucasian look without the pile, this checks every box…character, color, and that tactile Soumak texture that reads artisan from across the room.
Since this is a wool on wool foundation that has a floppy and flexible handle, you may want to consider a rug pad that we can custom cut to size for this rug to keep it nicely snug and protected. https://www.shopblueparakeetrugs.com/collections/rug-pads/products/large-rug-pad
