Unlike conventional flatwoven rugs, Soumak construction relies on a unique weft-wrapping process that produces a richly textured surface resembling fine embroidery. Characterized by bold geometric motifs, stylized florals, and symbolic tribal imagery, these rugs were traditionally woven from hand-spun wool colored with natural dyes. Today, Soumak rugs continue to be crafted using this time-honored technique, with their reversible construction, exceptional durability, and richly textured appearance making them an enduring favorite for modern homes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Oriental Rug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52100993253596,"sku":"AOR20836","price":5999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A20836_20aor.jpg?v=1784874140","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/brown-handknotted-wool-aor20836","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
