Sumak Rug – Anatolja

Wool carpet in the Sumak style, Anatolia, Konya.

The traditional technique involves needle-weaving, creating a raised embroidery pattern on the flat background of the carpet.

In Anatolian culture, geometric motifs are not merely decorative but carry a deeper meaning;

squares and diamonds often symbolise harmony and balance, whilst triangles and cross motifs are believed to protect the home and family.

The colours are plant-based.
