Bold coral ribbons twist all the way around this lovely rug. Over a dusty blue field, streaks of blue and pale sand run side by side in loose, broken blocks. At one end the field gives way to a wide band of rust that darkens toward the border. There is no medallion, and the field stays open from end to end. A handsome cream border is laid out as long framed panels, each edged in coral. Inside each panel a graceful coral ribbon loops and twists along its length, with a ring at the center of every run. Knotted loops close the long cartouches at the two sides. The pile is low. It slips into a large open room, where the coral ribbons warm the cool blue of the field. At 11'6" by 19', 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
The style of the Ottoman court carpets, first woven in Istanbul, spread to other weaving centers, among them Oushak. Oushak carpets of western Anatolia were usually made in large sizes. This rug is a large one too, nineteen feet long. Its field stays open, with two main colors, blue and rust, set in broad streaked blocks and no figure inside them. Around it runs a cream border of framed panels, each carrying a coral ribbon of loops and knots on 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.
