Sleek sumakh is a kilim. Simply an absolutely nice guy who is welcome in every room because somehow he always fits in perfectly. Whether stylish or minimalist, you can count on the guy. The carpet was made by the Kurdish people from the Sumakh region in the north-west of ancient Persia. The geometric pattern is typical of nomadic tribes and the villagers of the Orient. If you are under 50, a premium one-off item like this is still considered new. It is the epitome of boss-like stability: honest sheep's wool is undoubtedly the most important material for a hand-knotted rug. After shearing, the wool is divided into different grades, cleaned, washed and further processed by hand. Hand weaving with a loom is the oldest method of making a carpet. Due to the long tradition, many regional specialties have developed. Typically hand-woven carpets have no pile, but instead have an identical motif on both sides and can therefore be used on both sides. Because of their compact structure, woven carpets are very robust and resistant.
