Handwoven Geometric Soumak Runner
Item Details
A handwoven soumak runner. This wool rug, origin unattributed, features a geometric design in a palette of oatmeal, burgundy, indigo, and mocha. It begins with an oatmeal-colored field populated with stepped diamonds enclosing smaller diamonds; cross shapes; and quatrefoil diamonds. Stepped spandrels are grounded in mocha and populated with cruciform shapes in indigo. Framing the field is a single monochrome border in burgundy. The rug finishes at either end with braided cotton warp fringe. A label on the reverse reads, in part, ‘Flammable … Should not be used near sources of ignition’ or intense heat.
