This small vintage Oushak rug features a lively scattered floral design with large blooming flowers, leaves, and vine tendrils spread freely across an open ivory background. The bold blossoms in red, yellow, and lavender connect with thin curving stems, creating an organic, garden-like feel without a strict medallion or border emphasis. A wide wavy scalloped border in dark charcoal frames the field with subtle color echoes, adding playful movement to the composition.
Oushak weavers are celebrated for their artistic, painterly approach, especially in mid-20th-century pieces that were often distressed and washed to soften the palette and give an antique character. This example has medium pile with gentle wear that enhances the relaxed, handcrafted charm while keeping the wool soft and resilient.
Perfect for accentuating smaller spaces like bedrooms, reading nooks, or entry areas where a colorful yet light rug brings warmth and personality. The ivory base brightens rooms and makes the vivid flowers pop against neutral or wood-toned settings. Regular gentle vacuuming and spot cleaning will protect the pile and keep the fresh, joyful colors looking their best.
