Description
Oushak rugs gained great importance during the Ottoman Empire and were produced specially for the imperial palaces. Geometric shapes, stylised flowers and floral motifs are common in Oushak rugs. They are usually worked in pastel tones or with a restrained colour range. Woven from quality materials with true mastery, Oushak rugs can be used for generations. With their pastel tones and graceful motifs, Oushak rugs are a perfect complement to classic, vintage, eclectic and mixed modern-traditional interiors. Combined with traditional and modern elements alike, they create a sophisticated air.
Turkish rugs are entirely hand-woven, which makes each one unique. Cotton is generally used for the warp and sheep’s wool for the knots. Because Turkish rugs are woven with the double-knot technique, they require a great deal of labour and are extremely robust. The patterns in Turkish rugs vary according to the region where the rug was made and its cultural heritage; flowers, geometric shapes, medallions and symbolic motifs are used frequently. Natural dyes obtained from plants, roots and insects give the rugs depth and richness. With their rich patterns and natural colours, Turkish rugs work beautifully with classic, rustic, bohemian and modern interiors. They pair especially well with wooden furniture and antique accessories.
