This large new hand-knotted Turkish Oushak rug showcases a spacious open design with a central medallion surrounded by flowing floral and vine motifs in gentle, oversized patterns. The transitional style blends classic Turkish Oushak elements with a softer, more contemporary feel, using a light color scheme that makes the piece airy and versatile for modern interiors. Crafted with high-quality wool, it has a plush yet durable pile.
Oushak rugs trace their roots to the town of Uşak in western Turkey, a major weaving center since the Ottoman Empire in the 15th and 16th centuries. Originally known for grand medallion and star patterns in luminous wool, they gained fame across Europe and influenced many famous Renaissance paintings. Today’s Oushak production continues in Turkey and neighboring regions, often adapting the traditional large-scale designs for current tastes while keeping the signature soft palette and loose, comfortable weave.
This oversized rug excels in durability due to its firm hand-knotted construction and natural wool material, which resists wear and feels soft underfoot. It suits grand living rooms, dining areas, or open-plan spaces where it can anchor furniture without overwhelming the room. Regular vacuuming and occasional professional cleaning will keep its subtle colors fresh and maintain the pile’s integrity for many years.
