{"product_id":"charcoal-handknotted-wool-orh20843","title":"11'11''x18'1'' Hand Knotted Wool Charcoal, Beige Soumak Traditional Reversible Flatweave Rug","description":"Discover the perfect interplay of heritage craft and tactile luxury with this hand-knotted flatweave. Woven in the prized Soumak technique, this rug offers a sleek, durable profile enriched by rich wool textures and a reversible foundation. Dynamic palmettes and ancient floral motifs pop dramatically against a deep charcoal canvas, beautifully framed by a layered beige and rust border. It honors centuries of classic Indian artistry while offering a versatile, everyday elegance that elevates any room it anchors.\n*Note: The color of your rug may appear slightly different in person than it does on screen. This happens because device displays tend to oversaturate color, and because the pile's height causes it to catch and reflect light differently depending on the direction it's brushed, which can shift how a shade looks from one angle to the next. We've done our best to photograph this rug in a way that reflects its true tone, and we'd recommend watching the video below for a more accurate sense of its colors before you order. If you're still unsure, feel free to give us a call and we're happy to walk you through it.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 11'11\"x18'1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Charcoal, Beige, Sage, Rust, Caramel, 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#: ORH20843\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":52905132228901,"sku":"ORH20843","price":7999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A20843_20ebay.jpg?v=1785325477","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/charcoal-handknotted-wool-orh20843","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
