Our Soumak rug pairs a Heriz-style medallion with a warm coral field. Showcased here, a slate-teal medallion with a navy core sits on a coral red ground, with ivory corner pieces and a cream border full of small floral and tree motifs. Up close, the flatweave surface is tight and flat, finished with long ivory fringe. Hand-knotted in a flatweave Soumak technique from wool, this traditional area rug lies flat and vacuums easily. It is a flatweave wool rug that brings the bold look of an antique reproduction rug to your floor.

Story Behind the Art: Soumak rugs have a rich history rooted in the Caucasus, Persia (modern Iran), and Anatolia (Turkey). This flatwoven textile technique dates back centuries, originating from nomadic tribes who used it for rugs, bags, and other functional textiles. Unlike traditional kilims, Soumak rugs feature a unique weft-wrapping technique, creating a textured, embroidered appearance with bold geometric motifs, stylized floral patterns, and tribal symbols. Historically crafted with hand-spun wool and natural dyes, they are known for their durability and vibrant designs. Today, Soumak rugs are also woven in India, valued for their reversible construction and affordability, making them a practical yet stylish choice for modern interiors.
