Classical Oushak weaving is carried out in organic Arts & Crafts motifs across a generously scaled format, giving this hand-knotted rug the presence needed to anchor large, open rooms. A creamy beige canvas is layered with vibrant maroon motifs and olive-to-lime vine-work, punctuated by pops of gold, burnt orange, and soft peach that keep a big surface from reading as flat. Hand tied from pure hand-spun wool over a resilient cotton backing, the rug delivers a lush, irresistibly soft surface with the long-lasting durability required of a piece this size in living rooms and open-plan spaces. The handcrafted construction introduces slight changes in pile direction, texture, and tone, giving the surface depth and a more natural appearance than a mechanically produced rug. At this scale the vine-work has room to develop fully, which is where the design is at its most rewarding.

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.
