Iran Soumak rugs draw int’l buyers

Iranian Soumak rugs are finely woven with richly detailed motifs, attracting international buyers with their geometric patterns and tribal symbols.

According to a media report, the weavers of this unique rug are reserved for months or even years by international buyers to come up with the best designs possible without thinking about financial issues.

Soumak rugs are highly decorative and set off modern interior designs. More durable than a kilim, it is accomplished by a tapestry technique that involves wrapping colored weft threads over and under the warp threads.

The weavers of this unique rug are mostly Iranian nomads whose masterpieces showcase patterns inspired by nature.
