Shahsavan Soumak • Vintage Persian Flatweave Rug / Wall Art (3'9"x6'6")

Shahsavan Soumak Rug / Wall Art • Vintage Persian Wool Carpet / Wall Hanging • 3x5 Handmade Scatter Rug for Living Room, Bedroom, Nursery, Kitchen, Study & Office

 ✔ This vintage Shahsavan Soumak rug from northwest Iran is a masterpiece of tribal geometry and color balance. Handwoven in the 1960s from hand-spun wool dyed with roots and plants, it displays the classic double-eagle medallion pattern — a powerful symbol of protection and unity in Shahsavan weaving culture.

The field is rendered in a warm brick red, anchored by a midnight-blue central medallion and framed with motifs in ivory, sky blue, ochre, and soft teal. Each symbol — from the hooked diamonds to the ascending arrows — carries echoes of migration, resilience, and celebration. The Soumak’s characteristic reverse-weave technique gives the surface a textured, embroidered feel, marrying durability with artistry.
