Sumak rugs are named for the village of Shamakhi in the Caucasus, where the technique was widely practiced, but it was not invented there. Sumak has been practiced extensively across the world, from Central Asia to Iran. Today Sumak rugs are primarily woven in the large weaving districts in India. The construction of Sumaks is different from that of the hand knotted rugs. The techniques used to make these rugs can produce a primarily flat weave rug that can be thick and reversible, or single sided with fine elements that can contain silk.
