This wool sumak weaving hails from the Caucasus region.
The sumak technique adds new horizontal threads to a plain weave foundation, wrapping one or two vertical threads from front to back. This creates a denser, more structured kilim with a distinctive texture and appearance.
This technique is particularly prevalent throughout the Caucasus region.
This sumak features a striking contrast of sun-bright orange, deep indigo tinged with violet, and rich burgundy tones—a truly beautiful composition. Like many authentic pieces, this Oriental-inspired, magic carpet-like sumak displays the characteristic abrash color variations inherent to natural dyeing.
The geometric floral motifs with their unique cosmic sensibility reflect the distinctive characteristics of Caucasian kilims.
While vibrant in appearance, it carries the refined patina and aged character of a genuine antique, lending itself beautifully to traditional interiors.
The fabric is notably sturdy and substantial, making it ideal for anchoring spacious living rooms or positioning beneath dining tables without shifting or bunching. It's equally stunning placed under a wooden, elongated dining table.
