Celeste Rugs 6'x8'9" Hand Knotted Traditional Arts & Crafts Soumak Flatweave Reversible Gold, Peach Wool Area Rug

Late 19th-century Arts & Crafts principles shape this hand-knotted Soumak flatweave wool rug. The rug features a sun-washed gold and buttercream field filled with peach-apricot blossoms, olive green stems, and subtle multi-tonal botanical highlights. Nature-inspired repeating floral medallions and interlocking leaf scrollwork follow the Arts & Crafts tradition. Traditional Soumak flat-brocading on a durable cotton warp creates a reversible surface made for double the wear, and the stain-resistant wool keeps spot cleaning simple.

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 in a flatweave Soumak technique from wool, valued for its tight, low-profile weave and fully reversible design.

Care & Maintenance: Vacuum both sides regularly using suction only. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and rotate the rug periodically to distribute wear evenly. Professional cleaning is recommended to keep the weave looking crisp.

Story Behind the Art: Originating as a protest against mass produced inferior factory products of the 19th century, the Arts and Crafts Movement favored originality and craftsmanship. William Morris, main proponent of the movement, emphasized the use of handcrafts over the use of machinery and introduced a new design sensibility that evoked nature in home interiors through furniture, upholstery, wallpaper and rugs with intricate intertwining fruit, flower, and foliage patterns. The popularity of MorrisÕs rug designs has endured to the current times and stands emblematic of Art & Crafts rugs with their simple, bold, informal design themes rooted in nature. Today, the Arts & Crafts rugs embrace a multitude of styles ranging from the Art Nouveau style (rug patterns with flowing, curvilinear lines and nature-inspired, floral designs), Mission-style as well as geometric patterns inspired by Native American designs, American Prairie style and Caucasian rugs (hand-knotted rugs made in a small, Middle-Eastern region called the Caucasus). Arts and Crafts Rugs' natural motifs and interesting color palette add to their versatility and enduring charm.
