About the Item
This is an antique Karachov Kazak Rug from the Karachov / Karachoph region, Southwest Caucasus.
The town of Karachov (sometimes rendered Karatchoph or Karachoph) is southeast of Lori-Pambak, between Karaklis and Idjevan. It has given its name to a group of Kazak rugs with bold, majestic designs, the most characteristic of which resemble certain Turkish rugs, notably the Cannakale Bergama group, which, in turn, hark back to one of the most important groups of Classical Turkish carpets, the so-called ‘Large Pattern Holbeins’, which can be traced through European painting back to at least the 15th century. The well-known Karachov version consists of a large central white-ground octagon, flanked at the four corners of the field by four white ground squares; the main field color may be blue, green, blue-green, or red. A second and less well-known group consists of pieces with either three, four, or five medallions arranged along the vertical axis, the medallions being both polygonal, resembling the Yomut Turkoman ‘Kepse’ gül, and rectangular or square. The polygonal medallions almost always have red grounds and the rectangular ones white; the main field color is usually green or blue. Probably more Karachovs survive than any other group of Kazak rugs; they were woven in considerable quantities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, probably for export to the West.

We are aware that the way to achieve this goal and carry this priceless art and culture to the future depends on a lot of work with all our people every day while adhering to our core values.

We are tirelessly keeping an eye on auction house information around the world about carpets. New York's Metropolitan, London's Victoria & Albert Museums, and other famous art museums, as well as small specialized museums that house private collections, and books about oriental carpets to collect information on outstanding carpet designs and patterns from around the world. It's our Self-improving and Self-developing culture.
As Turkish Culture of Hospitality, the Kurdish Culture of Generosity, and as Japanese Culture of Business Punctuality; are the most important values that this multicultural background has taught and bequeathed to us.

Antique Caucasus Soumak Kilim Sumac Rug, Caucasian Natural Carpet
Located in Tokyo, JP
This is a large Antique Soumak ( Sumak, Sumac ) Kilim from the Caucasus region with a rare and beautiful color composition.
Of the four countries that make up the Caucasus, Azerbaijan produces the most kilims, and the land has a long history of weaving. The nomadic tribes wove kilims and carpets as well as a wide range of storage bags and sacks, such as saffrash, khurgin and chula, and donkey and horse trappings. Smaller bags for salt, utensils, and other items are also common. Not only are the Azerbaijani weavers prolific, but they also employ many techniques at the loom. These include slitweave- known locally by the word kilim, warp-faced patterning (jajim), supplementary weft (zili), weft wrapping (popularly known as soumak), and extra weft wrapping (verneh). Furthermore, flatweaves are defined by regional names such as palas and shadda, so it is possible to ascribe a variety of weaving names to particular provenances as follows: soumaks are made in Kuba, palas, and kilims in Hajikabul, zili in Khizy, verneh and zili in Kazakh, shadda, verneh and zili in Barda, jajim in Agjabedi, and palas and kilims in Jabrail.
Soumak weave is a technique in which new weft threads are added to a plain weave fabric, and one or two warp threads are wound from the front to the back. The resulting kilim is denser and firmer, giving it a unique feel and look. This technique is commonly used in the Caucasus region.
Soumak Kilims have a very beautiful contrast between orange that shines like the sun, deep purple-tinged indigo, and astringent dark red. You can also see the unevenly dyed abrage in this sumac, which is like a magic carpet with an oriental atmosphere.
Features of the Caucasian kilim, such as the unique cosmic geometric floral pattern, are also found in this Soumak. It has a bright look, but it also has a faded and textured feel, so it can be used in a good old atmosphere. The woven fabric is particularly solid, so it is recommended for use in a solid living room or under a dining table without moving or twisting. A nice kilim under a long wooden dining table.
