Afshar Soumak rugs are hand-woven tribal textiles produced by the Afshar nomadic tribes in southern Persia, characterised by a unique wrapping technique that creates a textured, flat-weave surface without a traditional pile.

These rugs are traditionally crafted from hand-spun sheep wool dyed with natural vegetable pigments, utilising a wrap-faced weaving technique where extra weft threads are wrapped around the warp threads for durability.

Authentic pieces feature hand-spun wool with slight variations in colour and texture, traditional tribal geometric motifs, characteristic Soumak wrapping on the reverse side, and hand-knotted fringe finishes.

Such rugs work well to ground minimalist or contemporary spaces by introducing warmth, texture, and heritage pattern, often placed in living areas, hallways, or beneath wooden coffee tables.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar, professional organic cleaning when necessary, and using a quality underlay to prevent slipping and fibre wear.
