Circular medallions and little florals dot an ivory backdrop, while rosettes in blue-gray, sage and gold line the border. Within the central panel, dainty blossoms in mustard and slate sit quietly beside accents of beige and navy. Worked in wool using the Soumak technique, the surface stays smooth and tightly woven, resting flat against the floor, and a peach fringe edges each end. That flat construction is easy to vacuum and kind to pets and kids, which makes this rug a natural for busy rooms. Place it in a living room for gentle pattern, in a bedroom for a soft layer of color, in a dining room that sees plenty of activity or in an entryway with constant traffic. With its handmade character and orderly design, this Soumak area rug offers a transitional look that suits many homes and keeps everyday spaces feeling pulled together and welcoming. The quiet palette and tidy layout make it an easy rug to live with, season after season.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 6x8'10\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Beige, Navy, Brown, Gold, Aqua, Pink, Sage, Multi,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.25 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: AOR22022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art: Soumak rugs belong to a long-established flatweaving tradition associated with the Caucasus, Persia, Anatolia, and neighboring weaving regions. Unlike conventional kilim construction, Soumak weaving uses a distinctive weft-wrapping method in which yarns are wrapped around the warp threads, creating a textured surface that can resemble embroidery. This technique lends itself particularly well to sharply defined geometric motifs, stylized flowers, medallions, tribal symbols, and repeating angular compositions. Historically, Soumak construction was used not only for floor coverings but also for bags and other practical woven textiles used by nomadic and settled communities. Wool and naturally derived colors were commonly incorporated into traditional pieces. Contemporary Soumak-inspired rugs continue to be produced in several weaving regions, including India, preserving the characteristic texture and graphic patterning that distinguish this versatile flatwoven style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Oriental Rug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68077705232604,"sku":"AOR22022","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A22022.jpg?v=1793946950","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/beige-handknotted-wool-aor22022","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
