Made as an antique reproduction, this Oushak carries the soft, washed-out patina of a piece with a long history behind it. A muted beige and light gold ground is patterned with understated blush pink florals, the detail deliberately faded so the rug reads as gentle rather than decorative. It is woven on a wool foundation rather than the more common cotton, which is part of what gives it a supple, flexible handle. The premium wool has a silky sheen and a dense pile that stays comfortable underfoot.
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.
Care
Vacuum with suction only to protect the sheen, and rotate twice a year. Pale grounds need quick attention, so blot spills immediately with a white cloth, and use a cleaner experienced with washed, antique-finish rugs.
Construction
Hand-knotted in premium wool on a wool foundation, meaning warp and weft are both wool, which makes the rug lighter and more flexible than a cotton-founded equivalent. A wash after weaving mutes the color and gives the pile its silky sheen.

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.
