Hand-knotted Soumak Rust/Tan Rug - 9'2 x 5'10 Rug
From the ancient deserts and mountains of Persia comes this beautiful flat-woven Soumak rug. This ancient pattern derives its name from the old town of Shamakja, located in Azerbaijan. Much like the popular Kelim rugs, the Soumak is crafted in the flat woven style. It is embroidered, with the embroidered threads hanging loose on the back. As a result the Soumak has a shaggy, erratic collection of strands of wool. These immaculate designs feature a geometric pattern bearing many tribal motifs. Because of their durable construction, the Soumak is better suited to high traffic areas than most Persian rugs. This handsome rug features a brown background with accents of rust and tan. Add the beauty and enchantment of ancient cultures to your home decor with Worldstock's huge selection of hand-woven rugs. Slight variation in the color and designs in each piece is normal in handmade rugs. Due to the difference of monitor colors, some rug colors may vary slightly.
