Sage Green Medallion Georgian Soumak Rug — 6′ 4″ × 3′ 11″

Hand-woven in Kakheti, Georgia, this soumak rug sets two columns of large octagonal medallions — alternating ivory and deep navy grounds — across a sage green field scattered with small botanical and figural motifs in rust, dusty rose, and charcoal. A wide border combines a meander vine on cream with a star-medallion band on navy, framed by narrow red guard stripes.

Soumak construction builds the pattern by wrapping supplementary wool wefts diagonally around the warp, rather than knotting a pile. The result is a flat, tightly woven surface with a faint herringbone texture and crisply outlined motifs — distinct in hand and structure from a knotted or kilim-woven rug.

Texture & Feel

Soumak is a flat weave, not a pile rug: the face has a slightly raised, embroidered-like hand from the wrapped wefts, while the reverse carries the loose, textured weft ends characteristic of the technique. Expect a substantial, structured feel underfoot rather than the plush softness of a knotted pile.
