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":53032114258213,"sku":"ORH20913","price":2499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A20913_20shopify_20orh.jpg?v=1786092818","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/black-handknotted-wool-orh20913","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
