Antique Caucasian Dragon Sumac Soumac Flatweave Rug

This category is fascinating and this particular example is mesmerising in all its aspects – the motifs, the color and the aesthetic balance.

18 figures altogether! 15 animals, 2 birds AND even a little girl! The medium sized figures in red and white represent dragons with long tails extending upwards and faces with crowns.

Amazing soul & very strong highly developed identity.

The first set of photos is the front (sharp drawing). The set at the end has pictures of the back with colors that are better preserved.

Estimated to be from the early-mid 1800s.

The front has minor signs of wear.

Among my favorite pieces in the collection.

57 x 333 cm

This item has spent a lifetime being used for the purpose of its creation with the original artist user. Signs of this life lived heartily may be present on the piece in the form of stains, thread loss, loose threads, holes, tears, color run and other imperfections. Therefore the condition must be assumed to be “not” perfect. More photos of such imperfections will be provided on request.
