{"product_id":"beige-handknotted-wool-aor20873","title":"Beige Mint 8'10''x12 Soumak Transitional Textured Design Reversible Flatpile Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"A soft, luminous palette and refined flatweave texture make this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted Soumak wool rug an elegant foundation for relaxed, thoughtfully designed interiors. Warm beige creates a gentle base for accents of mint green, aqua, peach, and soft gold, producing a calm transitional color story that brings subtle warmth and visual interest without overwhelming the room. The distinctive Soumak technique creates a low-profile, textured surface with an embroidered appearance, allowing the pattern to feel detailed and handcrafted while remaining sleek enough to sit comfortably beneath furniture. Woven from durable wool, this rug offers natural resilience and everyday practicality while preserving the softness and artisanal quality expected from a premium handmade piece. Its versatile design works beautifully in living rooms, dining spaces, bedrooms, entryways, or home offices, pairing easily with traditional, coastal, transitional, and contemporary décor. Every section is individually woven by skilled artisans, resulting in slight variations that make the rug unique and reinforce its one-of-a-kind character. The flatweave profile also makes it especially suitable for active spaces where a clean, tailored surface is preferred. Please note that colors may appear somewhat stronger on digital devices, and ambient lighting can subtly change how the different tones are perceived in person. We have photographed the rug carefully and recommend watching the accompanying product video for the most accurate understanding of its actual palette and woven texture before ordering.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8'10\"x12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Beige, Mint, Peach, Gold, Aqua, Brown, Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.15 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: AOR20873\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art: Soumak weaving has deep roots across the Caucasus, Persia, and Anatolia, where nomadic and village communities used the technique to create durable rugs, storage bags, saddle coverings, and other functional textiles. Unlike the simpler over-and-under structure of a kilim, Soumak is produced by wrapping colored weft yarns around the warp threads, resulting in a stronger surface with a distinctive embroidered or brocaded appearance. This construction gives geometric medallions, stylized flowers, animals, tribal emblems, and symbolic motifs added texture and visual definition. Traditional Soumak pieces were commonly woven from hand-spun wool colored with natural dyes, creating rich tonal variation and the subtle irregularities associated with authentic artisan work. Their sturdy structure and low-profile surface made them especially practical for daily use and travel. Today, Soumak rugs are also produced by skilled artisans in India, where the historic technique is adapted for modern homes. Valued for their reversible construction, durability, tactile character, and decorative versatility, contemporary Soumak rugs continue to connect centuries-old weaving knowledge with functional interior design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Oriental Rug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52161153138908,"sku":"AOR20873","price":1499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A20873_20aor.jpg?v=1785836836","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/beige-handknotted-wool-aor20873","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
