Handmade and one-of-a-kind, this vintage Sumak runner showcases a softly faded tribal design with stepped medallions and geometric motifs in powder blue, ivory, and taupe. Its elongated format, crisp border work, and low-contrast palette give the flatwoven Caucasian tradition a refined, airy presence that layers easily into both classic and modern interiors. An ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or narrow living space.
Faded cool tones of powder blue, ivory, taupe, beige, sand, and pale brown, with a powder blue field.
Soumak (also Sumak or Soumakh) is a flatweave technique in which supplementary weft threads are wrapped around warp threads in a continuous forward-and-back motion, creating a smooth, slightly ridged surface with a characteristic herringbone texture on the reverse. The technique originated in the Caucasus and is named for the town of Shemakha in Azerbaijan.
Soumak rugs are woven across the Caucasus, Iran, and Central Asia, with the most celebrated antique examples coming from the Shirvan and Kuba districts. Their bold geometric designs — large medallions, star forms, animal and human figures — are rendered with a precision made possible by the technique's fine resolution. They wear exceptionally well and are prized both as floor coverings and wall hangings.
