Antique Konagkend Soumak • Late 19th Century Caucasian Rug (7'2"x10'6")

Late 19th Century Antique Caucasian Kuba Konagkend Soumak Rug • Luxury Handmade Wool Carpet • 7x10 Tribal Area Rug for Living Room, Bedroom, Dining & Office

✔ This late 19th-century Konagkend Soumak rug from Kuba is a symphony of geometry and color, featuring the iconic Lesghi star design cascading down a rich madder field. Midnight indigo and oxidized copper tones collide with robin’s egg blue and saffron accents, creating a moody yet animated visual rhythm. The crisp flatweave texture and tribal motifs lend it both historical weight and a free-spirited charm. At approximately 8x10, it’s not just a rug—it’s a charismatic storyteller from the Caucasus.

Woven in the highland Shirvan or Kuba regions of the South Caucasus—modern-day Azerbaijan—this Soumak is a rare testament to late 19th-century artisanry. Its sturdy flatweave is tougher than a kilim, and its richly dyed palette speaks to a mastery of form and meaning, likely made for a discerning local patron.
