{"product_id":"aqua-handknotted-wool-orh21836","title":"Hand Knotted Wool Rug Aqua, Taupe Transitional Soumak 8'3''x10","description":"Before you is a hand-knotted wool Soumak rug in powder blue, with raised vines and flowers in lilac-gray and gold sculpted into the surface. The pattern rises above the ground in a high-low texture, so each leaf has a carved edge. A matching border frames the design with a soft, tonal outline. The colors stay gentle, and the texture adds depth you can see and feel. Gentle vacuuming with the beater bar off keeps the sculpted edges crisp. Powder blue, lilac and gold pair easily with cream, white and soft grays. A transitional area rug with a delicate, tactile design, it suits anyone who likes subtle color with texture.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8'3\"x10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Aqua, Taupe, Moss, Lavender\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#: ORH21836\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54480015393061,"sku":"ORH21836","price":499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21836.jpg?v=1794563263","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/aqua-handknotted-wool-orh21836","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
