Soumaks also know as Suzani or Shiraki are intricate flat weaves, woven using warp replacement technique. Weaving Soumaks requires significantly more skill and time compared to a regular flatweave.
SPECIFICATIONS
How it sits in your room.
180 × 130 CM (5'11" × 4'3"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.
About the length of a 3-seater sofa, so it sits just in front of it with the coffee table on it. Floated like this it reads as a deliberate island rather than a rug that came up short.
Only 25 cm of rug would show beyond even a four-seat table, so the chairs would sit off it. This one belongs in a living room or bedroom.
Narrower than a queen bed, so it sits across the foot of the bed, tucked 20 cm under. A pair of runners either side is the other way to dress a bed this size.
Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
