An eight-sided silhouette sets this hand-knotted Soumak rug apart, its tribal medallions in rust, gold, sage, and blue built using the traditional loop-wrapping technique associated with Caucasus flatweaving. The octagonal shape and fully reversible construction make it a genuinely uncommon find, well suited to a room that wants a strong structural statement underfoot.
Individually woven by skilled artisans, each rug is a truly one-of-a-kind piece. This authentic craftsmanship results in a distinct work of art built to last for generations.
Construction: Hand-knotted using the traditional Soumak loop-wrapping technique from wool, with a fully reversible, octagonal build.
Care & Maintenance: Vacuum both sides regularly using suction only. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth rather than scrubbing, and flip the rug periodically to take advantage of its reversible construction. Professional cleaning is recommended to maintain the flatweave's texture.

Story 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.
