Oushak designs from western Turkey are known for their scale, with big open florals that never crowd a room, and this hand-knotted version keeps that quality intact. Floral vines and palmettes sprawl across a warm beige field in silver and muted gray, drawn loosely enough that the pattern reads as soft rather than formal. The bamboo silk blended through the wool picks up light along the vine work, which is where most of the shimmer sits. It is an easy rug to place, particularly in rooms where the furniture is doing the talking.
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 Bamboo silk holds moisture longer than wool does, so blot spills immediately and avoid wet cleaning at home. Vacuum with suction only, working in the direction of the pile, and have the rug professionally cleaned every few years.
Construction Hand-knotted in a blend of wool and bamboo silk. The wool carries the ground and gives the rug its body, while the bamboo silk is worked into the floral motifs so the pattern lifts against a matte field.

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.
