Origin and Tradition

Oushak rugs originate from the region of Oushak in Turkey, known for its rich history in rug weaving that dates back to the 15th century. While this particular rug is crafted in India, it draws from the traditional Oushak styles characterized by large-scale patterns and soft colors. Oushak rugs often feature motifs influenced by nature, geometric patterns, and floral designs. The region is renowned for its significant contribution to the oriental rug market, blending traditional techniques with local artistry.

Design and Pattern

The design features a palette of black, burgundy, and green, accentuated by beige, gold, and ivory undertones. This interplay of colors creates a harmonious and inviting atmosphere suitable for various decor styles, from traditional to contemporary. The floral patterns, combined with olive-toned vines and a deep black field, enhance the visual depth of the rug. The ornamental borders and hand-done fringe further emphasize the artisanal quality and attention to detail, making it a standout piece in any setting.

The rug is in excellent condition, having never been used. Its hand-knotted construction ensures a high level of durability, with an expected lifespan of 30 to 40 years when properly cared for. The combination of quality materials and skilled craftsmanship results in a rug that not only adds beauty to your space but also represents a timeless tradition of rug making.
