Brown is an uncommon ground color for an Oushak, and it changes the character of the whole design. Sprawling floral motifs spread across the rich brown field in beige, gold, and muted earth tones, drawn at the large scale typical of Turkish weaving but darker and warmer than usual. Pure wool gives it softness underfoot and the depth of color that only comes from a good yarn. It suits rooms with wood tones and low light.
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 weekly to keep grit out of the pile. Dark grounds show lint, so a quick pass with a lint roller helps between cleanings, and spills should be blotted rather than rubbed into the wool.
Construction
Hand-knotted in pure wool. The Oushak tradition of western Turkey favors large, open drawing, which lets a dark ground carry a floral pattern without becoming heavy.

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.
