Flatwoven Rugs - Formal Gallery
Rugs, like kilims, dhurries, and soumaks, do not have to have tribal designs. This gallery includes examples of more formal designs and contemporary designs. These appeal to people who prefer a flatter look in rugs but still like a formal design. Also, these rugs, being faster to weave, are less expensive than their pile counterparts.
Many of the formal soumaks are "programmed" rugs. This means that you can get exactly the same design over a wide range of sizes.
