Big, sweeping curves set the mood on this hand-knotted Arts & Crafts Oushak rug. Showcased here is a mushroom-brown field laid out in a scrolling lattice of arabesques, with rose rosettes at the center and palmettes in rust, teal, and ivory blooming between them. This large-scale Turkish design inspired William Morris and the Arts & Crafts designers, who admired its bold, flowing botanical forms. A rose and slate border of palmettes and leafy scrolls with narrow red guard stripes frames this traditional floral wool rug.
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.
