Woven by hand using the ancient soumak technique, area rug reflects centuries of textile artistry and craftsmanship. Originating in the Caucasus village of Shemaka, the soumak method involves intricately wrapping yarns over and under warp threads to produce a dense, highly detailed pattern. Crafted from a luxurious wool blend, the Cecile rug's all-over motif of stylized florals and vines evokes a sense of timeless beauty. A final step of overdyeing the rug produces its rich, tonal brown color. Renowned for their strength and durability, soumak rugs are designed to endure, creating a thick, resilient textile that will only grow more beautiful with age—a true heirloom in the making.
