Wool on cotton, handmade. A very beautiful Kilim (flatweaves) from China, in Sumak technique with caucasian design. For the last 20 years Caucasian, Ziegler & Ushak carpets have been very popular in western markets, especially in the American market, and there were not enough of the old and antique ones around. The dealers decided to reproduce them in Afghanistan, India, China and other weaving centres of the East. One of the reproduction`s skills is the Soumak technique, which at the moment is among the best sellers. This rug is very decorative and has the Daghestan pattern and is a perfect companion for rooms with either modern of traditional furnishing and decor.

SOUMAK

 

Soumak technique, like that used to make a kilim, produces a patterned weaving with a flat surface of discontinuous horizontal threads known as weft. The variously colored weft threads are wrapped around the warp threads, the primary structural component. In kelims, they are passed over and under adjacent warps. But unlike kilim weaving there are no slits at each colour join and there is a supplementary weft thread which, along with the pattern weft, provides the second component necessary to create a structurally sound woven object. These structural wefts are invisible from both the front and back of a Soumak weaving and can only be seen by bending the weaving in the horizontal direction. There are, however, some later groups of soumaks, which lack structural wefts and the added strength, they provide.

Because of the necessity for a structural weft after each row of weft wrappings, Soumak weaving, like that of pile-carpets, proceeds a row at a time, again differing from kilim where colour areas can be "built-up" independently from each other. There are also several different Soumak techniques - plain and countered as well reverse. These styles can also differ somewhat depending on the many possible combinations of warp threads are used for each individual wrapping.

 

“Method of brocading handmade flat-woven rugs and similar fabrics. It is one of the oldest known techniques, identified among charred 7th-century-BC fragments excavated at Gordion, near Ankara in Anatolia. In recent times, it has been most prevalent in the Caucasus, but it is also used in various parts of Iran.”
