Soumak rugs are a type of Oriental rugs belonging to the family of flat weaves. Soumaks tend to be finely woven, and although not as durable as piled carpets, they are stronger than kilims. The technique of making a soumak involves wrapping wefts over four warps before drawing them back under the last two warps. The process is repeated from selvedge to selvedge.They are made in the Caucasus, southern Persia and Anatolia, by the Shahsavan tribe in north-western Persia. Sizes vary, from carpet format to tiny tribal domestic bags. They are beautiful rugs that have maintained integrity and character over the years.
