Celeste Rugs 7'11''x9'10'' Hand Knotted Oushak Arts & Crafts Traditional Light Gold, Gray Wool Area Rug

This is a reproduction of an antique Turkish weaving, made to look its age from the day it arrives. A light gold backdrop carries muted gray and pale aqua botanicals, with the color deliberately uneven the way a hundred-year-old rug would be. Underneath the weathered surface is straightforward hand-knotted wool construction, so the character is borrowed but the build is not. The palette is soft enough to sit in almost any room without argument. 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 with suction only, as antique-finished surfaces respond poorly to aggressive brushing. Rotate once a year, and blot spills straight away, since the pale ground offers little cover. Construction Hand-knotted in wool and given an antique finish after weaving, a wash that mutes the dye and softens the surface to imitate decades of wear.

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.
