Naz (4 x 6)

$1,571.00

Delicate yet wonderfully graphic, this vintage Persian silk Sumak is a beautiful study in contrast. Naz, meaning soft or delicate in Farsi, speaks to the nature of this rug. Woven in soft blush, faded rose, terracotta, ivory, and touches of deep red and green, its finely detailed composition gives the rug a sense of structure and rhythm while its silk construction lends an almost luminous quality to the surface.

The central field is organized into a grid of individual compartments, each containing its own stylized geometric motif. A series of intricate borders surrounds the composition, creating a strong architectural framework that draws the eye across the rug. The pattern is highly detailed without feeling busy, softened by the restrained, timeworn palette and the subtle variation that comes with age and handwoven construction.

Woven using the traditional Sumak technique, this rug is flatwoven with an intricate pattern created through carefully worked silk. The result is a piece that feels both refined and unexpected: delicate in material, but graphic and confident in design.

Dimensions: 4’ x 6’ 9”

  • Sumak rugs draw inspiration from a wide range of Caucasian and Anatolian tribal weaving traditions, spanning regions of present-day Turkey, Iran, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and beyond.

    They are particularly known for their intricate geometric and zoomorphic designs, often arranged in highly rhythmic, repeating compositions. Unlike other flatweave rugs, such as kilims, Sumaks are not reversible. This is a result of the distinctive weaving technique, which creates a patterned front and a more textured reverse.

    The Sumak technique extends beyond floor coverings and has historically been used to create a variety of handmade textiles, including bags, saddle covers, storage pieces, and other utilitarian objects. The result is a weaving tradition that is as functional as it is decorative, with a rich visual language rooted in the tribal communities that have carried these techniques across generations.
