A distressed charcoal medallion traces across the ivory ground of this hand-knotted bamboo silk Oushak rug. Showcased here are a stepped medallion and border that show through the surface like a faded etching, with cream and pale gray in the open spaces. The silky pile shimmers, and the surface is smooth and lustrous. Short fringe finishes each end of this transitional Oushak 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 pure bamboo silk, selected for its natural luster and the multi-dimensional sheen it brings to the pile.
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 protect the silk fibers' sheen.

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.
