{"product_id":"gold-handknotted-wool-lbr21989","title":"LoomBloom 8'6''x11'6'' Gold Turquoise Soumak Flatweave Hand Knotted Traditional Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"Want a rug that stays flat, looks bold and goes easy on upkeep? This Soumak in gold and turquoise gives you a traditional Oriental area rug with a coral red ground, a slate teal medallion and a navy core at the center. Ivory fills the corners, and a cream border of tiny blooms and trees adds finishing detail, while strands of ivory fringe run long at each end. It is hand knotted from wool using the flatweave technique, so the surface is tight, level and easy to run a vacuum across. The medallion has a Heriz-style flair, and the overall effect recalls an antique reproduction without feeling stuffy. Everyday living is simple too, since a flat wool surface rarely gets in the way of doors. Place it in a bedroom, dining room, home office or the main living room, and let the color do the work. In short, it is a colorful, practical and handsome rug that suits people who like traditional design with a flat, tidy finish and a confident splash of coral and teal.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8'6\"x11'6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Gold, Turquoise, Burnt Orange, Chocolate, Sage, 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#: LBR21989\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":56006073024803,"sku":"LBR21989","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0847\/1635\/5875\/files\/A21989.jpg?v=1793859076","url":"https:\/\/loombloomrugs.com\/products\/gold-handknotted-wool-lbr21989","provider":"loomBloom Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
