New soumakh

Soumakh is a comparatively rare type of Kilim, deriving its name from the old town of SHEMAKJA (Republic of Azerbaijan). Soumakh is NOT a Kilim. However, both have flat-woven style. Soumakh has embroidered and its embroidery threads are not cut off at the back. Soumakh has a shaggy, erratic collection of loose ends or strands of wool. The wefts strands (serving a decorative role rather than the structural role of knotted carpets) are threaded through a number of warp strands and then looped back. All Soumakh have geometric pattern with many tribal motifs all around. Usually the motifs are small birds. Soumakh 's are excellent with contemporary, traditional and modern decors
