The first thing to catch the eye on this lovely rug is its large cream medallion. On a dusty rose field, cream sprigs link into a lattice of six-sided cells, each holding a pretty rosette in pale blue and cream. The medallion is a lobed diamond outlined in light brown, with pale blue and pink flowers clustered at its core. Cream pendants sit above and below it, with smaller ones at either side. Pale blue spandrels fill the corners, set with cream and pink palmettes. The main border is a handsome cream band, carrying a scroll of palmettes and leaves in dusty rose and light brown. Guard stripes on both sides carry small pink squares and tiny cross-flowers on dusty rose. The pile is high across the field and the borders. It holds a large room in dusty rose and cream, while the pale blue corners bring a cooler note. At 11' by 13'7", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.
Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
About Oushak rugs
Medallion Oushak carpets were made in large numbers from the later 15th century to the 18th, and were hugely popular in the Ottoman Empire and in Europe. The Metropolitan Museum of Art calls its Star Oushak of the late 1400s one of the earliest, largest and best preserved carpets of its type. This rug is a medallion rug as well, its lobed cream diamond set at the center of a dusty rose field, with pendants on one line above and below. The field lattice is laid out in steady rows, every cell holding one rosette. Pale blue returns in the corners and in a narrow stripe beside the cream border, which carries a scroll of palmettes around all four sides.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
