10x14 Hand Knotted Wool Brown, Moss Soumak Transitional Reversible Flatweave Rug
Rich in color and steeped in traditional pattern work, this piece brings the tactile character of true flatweave construction into a modern room. Hand-knotted in wool with a Soumak weave structure on a cotton foundation, the rug is fully reversible, giving two usable faces from the same piece. The deep brown field is filled with an interlocking lattice of scrolling vines and palmette forms, each connected by soft curving stems and centered with small floral medallions in gold, rose, and moss green. A wide tan border surrounds the field, patterned with diamond and star shaped medallions, finished with a slim green guard stripe and brown outer edge before the fringe. *Note: The color of your rug may appear slightly different in person than it does on screen. This happens because device displays tend to oversaturate color, and because the pile's height causes it to catch and reflect light differently depending on the direction it's brushed, which can shift how a shade looks from one angle to the next. We've done our best to photograph this rug in a way that reflects its true tone, and we'd recommend watching the video below for a more accurate sense of its colors before you order. If you're still unsure, feel free to give us a call and we're happy to walk you through it.

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.
