Dove gray sits under sweeping ivory palmettes and vine work, bordered in warm taupe and light gold. The palette is muted and earthy in the way Oushak weaving is prized for, with a faded, sun-washed quality that keeps a large-scale pattern from dominating. It anchors a room without competing with anything in it. Hand-knotted in pure wool, with the soft, weathered surface characteristic of the style.
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 and rotate twice a year to keep the gray field wearing evenly. Blot spills immediately, since muted grounds will show water rings if a spill is left to dry on its own.
Construction
Hand-knotted in wool. The large, sweeping drawing typical of Oushak weaving allows a coarser knot count than a fine Persian floral would, and that is part of what gives these rugs their soft, relaxed surface.

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.
