Gray ground Oushak rugs have been a staple of Turkish weaving for a long time, and it isn't difficult to see why this colorway has held up so well. A soft blue-gray field carries an all-over design of large scale ivory florals and scrolling botanical vines in cream and warm taupe, with touches of brown that add depth without pulling the palette in a darker direction. The wide ivory border is generously proportioned and filled with the same floral vocabulary, which gives the rug a cohesive and well-considered feel throughout. The washed finish over superior quality wool softens everything just enough that it reads as relaxed rather than formal, which is part of what makes this particular colorway so broadly workable. Hand knotted on a cotton foundation, the construction is built to last and to be lived on properly rather than preserved. A very solid example of the style at its best.
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.
