Rows of oversized blossoms march across the field of this fine Oushak rug, hand-knotted in wool at a dense 200 knots per square inch. Showcased here is an ivory ground set with large swirling rosettes in peach, gold, and olive, alternating with lobed brown cartouches linked by curling vines. The bold, large-scale layout recalls the Turkish workshops of Ushak, whose carpets once hung in European palaces. A wide olive-brown border of smaller cartouches and floral sprigs makes this traditional fine Oushak rug a piece with real presence.
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, selected for its resilience and its ability to hold rich color and definition across the pattern.
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 distribute wear evenly. Professional cleaning is recommended to keep the pile looking its best.

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.
