Oversized floral motifs and angular vine work spread across this hand-knotted Oushak rug, framed by an expansive border in soft, weathered earth tones that echo the historic weaving traditions of west-central Anatolia. Artisans hand-tie every knot, which produces the gentle color abrash, or natural tonal shift, that collectors look for in authentic Oushak work. The ivory and beige palette keeps the piece adaptable across a range of interior styles.
Individually woven by skilled artisans, each rug is a truly one-of-a-kind piece. This authentic craftsmanship results in a distinct work of art built to last for generations.
¥ Construction: Hand-knotted from wool, chosen for its natural tonal variation and its ability to hold the loose, oversized scale of Oushak floral motifs.
¥ Care & Maintenance: Vacuum regularly using suction only, avoiding a rotating beater bar. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and rotate the rug periodically to keep the abrash pattern wearing evenly. Professional cleaning is recommended to preserve the wool's earthy palette.
Story Behind the Art: Oushak Rugs, originating in the west-central Anatolian town of Oushak in Turkey, are renowned for their exceptional texture, expansive design and elegant style. These rugs are made using a family of designs that originate in Ushak, Turkey. TheyÕre recognizable for their large-scale designs and are typically based on geometric motifs with central medallion drawings, smaller all-over medallions or scattered sprays of vine scroll and palmettes. Made from lustrous wool, they favor muted earth tones and are extremely versatile.
