Warm gold fills the center, and a bold slate blue border wraps it like a frame, with burnt orange, teal and brown picking out the details. Vines and dragons wind through the field, so there is always something new to notice. It is a hand knotted Soumak flatweave in traditional style, made of wool, with small cut pile highlights that add dimension where the pattern needs it. The flatweave technique gives the rug a distinctive, finely textured surface, while the wool fiber is strong enough to last for years of daily use. Because the design is vivid but balanced, it works as the star of a living room or dining space and sits happily in a bedroom or home office as well. Choose it if you love Caucasian-inspired artistry, rich color and a handmade rug with real character. It brings warmth, history and a confident splash of personality to your floor.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 7'9\"x9'8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Gold, Blue, Tan, Burnt Orange, Brown, Teal, 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#: LBR21466\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art: Soumak rugs belong to an old flatweaving tradition recognized for a distinctive wrapping technique rather than conventional knotted pile construction. 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":55726163034403,"sku":"LBR21466","price":799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0847\/1635\/5875\/files\/A21466.jpg?v=1791538170","url":"https:\/\/loombloomrugs.com\/products\/gold-handknotted-wool-lbr21466","provider":"loomBloom Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
