A diamond-lattice grid of palmettes sits at the center of this hand-knotted Oushak rug, framed by multi-tiered botanical borders that build outward in layers. Artisans apply an antique finish across the wool pile, softening the surface to replicate the muted character of an heirloom piece, which gives the gold and beige palette a warmth that feels collected rather than new.
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, finished with an antique wash that softens the pile and adds depth to the diamond-lattice pattern.
Care & Maintenance: Vacuum regularly using suction only, avoiding a rotating beater bar, which can be especially damaging to a rug with an antique finish. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and rotate the rug periodically to distribute wear. Professional cleaning is strongly recommended to protect the antique finish.

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. They're 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.
