Burnished by time and imbued with history, our unrivaled collection of vintage and antique rugs has been curated with an artist's eye for uncommon beauty, character, quality and provenance. Crafted by generations of nomadic weavers, villagers and historic workshops, each rug is made by hand and tells a unique story of a place and a people, expressing their craft in one-of-a-kind creations. From the royal carpets of Agra to masterful French Aubussons, the jewel motifs of classical Persians to the geometry of Turkish Oushaks, our singular rugs represent the world's finest rug-making traditions. A handwoven rug produced across the Caucasus, Persia and Anatolia regions, Sumaks are distinguished by their unique construction. Employing a tapestry technique, colored weft threads are wrapped over and under warp threads to produce an embroidery-style corded surface with a supple, sturdy hand. Traditionally woven in village and tribal settings, Sumak designs range from geometric or botanical motifs to bold graphics and palatial references. Valued for durability and textural richness, Sumak rugs occupy a distinctive place between pile carpets and flat weaves in the textile tradition.
