{"product_id":"beige-handknotted-wool-orh21370","title":"8x9'11'' Hand Knotted Wool Beige, Gold Soumak Traditional Arts \u0026 Crafts Reversible Rug","description":"Woven in the Soumak tradition, this rug builds its beige field out of a lattice of vines, each junction blooming into a rosette in gold, sage or dusty blue. It's an Arts \u0026amp; Crafts sensibility applied to an old Persian idea, ordered and repeating, but drawn loose enough to feel handmade at every point. The rug's deep red border features cartouches and cross-flowers running the full perimeter. Hand knotted on a cotton foundation and fully reversible, it's a piece that ages well.\n*Note: This rug was photographed under studio lighting, which means the colors on screen may appear a little more vibrant than they do in person. We'd recommend watching the video below for a truer sense of the palette.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8x9'11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Kalaty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Beige, Gold, Sage, Blue, Brown, Lime, 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#: ORH21370\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":53711715434789,"sku":"ORH21370","price":1199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21370_20shopify_20orh.jpg?v=1788165809","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/beige-handknotted-wool-orh21370","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
