{"product_id":"rust-handknotted-wool-orh21294","title":"4'4''x8 Hand Knotted Wool Rust, Beige Antique Turkish Oushak Traditional Pole Medallion Silky Sheen Rug","description":"Hand knotted in wool, this antique Turkish rug comes from the Oushak weaving region, long recognized for its soft, sun faded palette of rust, rose, and beige, colors. A pole medallion runs down the center in ivory and terracotta, elongated rather than round, a shape distinct to Oushak design and rarely seen in other Turkish weaving traditions. Rosette motifs scatter across the open rust colored field around the medallion, framed by a wide border of small octagonal florals in warm gold and coral tones. A secondary border near one end brings in a row of stylized shield forms, adding an unexpected graphic touch to the otherwise floral composition. As a genuine antique rug, this piece is noted to be in excellent condition with no low pile or staining, a rare find for a weaving of its age. The silky sheen across the wool is characteristic of fine Oushak pieces and tends to deepen with time rather than fade. *As with most photography, colors may appear a shade more vivid on screen than they do in natural light. Expect the true tones to be a bit gentler in person.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 4'4\"x8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Rust, Beige, Rose, Moss, Taupe, Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Turkey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.3 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Antique \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: Antique in excellent condition.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52820361314597,"sku":"ORH21294","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21294.jpg?v=1784544078","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/rust-handknotted-wool-orh21294","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
