SOUMAK RUG
Size, 4.11 × 3.1
The fine weaving of this Soumak Rug and its beautiful coloring are
especially admirable. The texture is very firm, the threads being tightly
drawn. On a field, which is a choice shade of blue, rest geometrical forms,
each one of which has a ground of terra cotta, pale green, or soft yellow,
and is ornamented with rich blue, ivory, or a light shade of terra cotta.
All are outlined with black. The hook design is noticed in different parts
of the rug, and especially in the border. The artistic effect of this bit of
weaving is most pleasing.
Owned by Mr. Will J. Davis, Chicago.
