Antique Turkish Soumak Rug
Antique Turkish Soumak (circa 1875)
An antique Turkish Soumak rug from around 1875 would be a highly sought-after piece for rug collectors and enthusiasts. Soumak rugs are known for their intricate weaving technique, vibrant colors, and geometric designs.
During the 19th century, Turkish Soumak rugs were esteemed for their high quality and craftsmanship. They were traditionally handmade by skilled weavers using a flat-woven technique known as “Soumak.” This technique produces a durable and tightly woven rug with a smooth texture.
The design of an antique Turkish Soumak rug from this era typically features geometric patterns, intricate borders, and a wide range of colors such as red, blue, yellow, green, and ivory. The motifs often include stylized flowers, animals, and symbols inspired by Turkish culture and heritage.
Due to their age and rarity, antique Turkish Soumak rugs from this time period can have a significant market value. The value is dependent on factors such as the condition of the rug, size, design, and overall aesthetic appeal. It is advisable to consult with a professional rug dealer or an appraiser to determine the specific value of an antique Turkish Soumak rug from this time period.
