Somak Red 45507

Somak Kelim is a type of handwoven rug originating in Persia. This type of rug is known for its special technique and unique aesthetic. Somak Kelim is a form of flat-woven rug created by weaving warp and weft threads together. This technique results in a thin, smooth, and flexible rug that is strong and durable. Unlike other types of rugs, where the warp threads are cut after each row of knotted threads, the warp threads in Somak Kelim are visible on the back of the rug. Typical patterns on Somak Kelim include geometric shapes, flowers, vine scrolls, and other abstract patterns. The color palette can range from traditional earthy tones to bright and vibrant colors, depending on the region and manufacturer. There is often a balance between negative and positive spaces in the pattern, giving the rug visual complexity and dynamism. Somak Kelim rugs have a distinct oriental style that suits both traditional and modern interiors. Their smooth surface and thin structure make them ideal for use as floor coverings or wall decorations. These rugs are known for their versatility and can be used in various environments, including living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms. Somak Kelim rugs are popular both in Iran and internationally due to their skilled craftsmanship, unique technique, and aesthetic value. They are often sought after as collectibles and artworks due to their cultural significance and historical traditions.
