{"product_id":"beige-handknotted-wool-lbr21381","title":"LoomBloom Beige Charcoal 7'10''x9'10'' Soumak Traditional Arts \u0026 Crafts Reversible Graphic Wool Hand Knotted Oriental Area Rug","description":"A masterful fusion of classical craftsmanship and abstract design, this hand-knotted Arts \u0026amp; Crafts rug pairs rich wool texture with a sturdy cotton backing in a fully reversible build that stays easy to clean and genuinely pet-friendly through daily use. Its dramatic, multi-layered motif looks as though a classic dark medallion pattern is being slowly uncovered from beneath a soft neutral coat, an effect brought to life in deep charcoal, charcoal-gray, taupe, and beige. The layered graphic design gives a traditional motif a distinctly contemporary edge, while the reversible construction adds practical durability that extends the rug's usable life. Striking a balance between artistic drama and everyday resilience, this whimsical rug suits a living room, family room, playroom, or home office where dynamic modern living calls for a pattern with real personality and staying power. 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.

In this method, colored weft yarns are wrapped around the structural warps, producing a textured surface with an embroidered appearance and sharply articulated motifs. Historically associated with weaving cultures across the Caucasus, Persia, Anatolia, and neighboring regions, Soumak construction was used for floor coverings as well as bags and other functional textiles. Geometric medallions, angular flowers, tribal symbols, stylized animals, and repeating borders commonly appear throughout the design vocabulary. Wool has long been a favored material because of its strength, texture, and ability to hold varied color. Modern Soumak rugs continue to preserve the low-profile construction and graphic character of the tradition while adapting motifs and palettes for contemporary interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Loombloom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55539098321187,"sku":"LBR21381","price":1499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0847\/1635\/5875\/files\/A21381_20shopify_20lbr.jpg?v=1788166519","url":"https:\/\/loombloomrugs.com\/products\/beige-handknotted-wool-lbr21381","provider":"loomBloom Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
