The Soft Power of Oushak: A Legacy of Anatolian Artistry
Originating from the historic town of Uşak in Western Anatolia, Oushak rugs have long been celebrated as the crowning jewels of interior design. Unlike the rigid intricacies of other city rugs, Oushaks are revered for their relaxed elegance, featuring larger knots and silky, luminous wool that naturally softens the aesthetic of any room. Historically favored by Renaissance painters and modern designers alike, these carpets bridge the gap between the old world and the new.
Our collection highlights the versatility of the Oushak style. From the traditional “Star Oushak” and medallion patterns to contemporary interpretations featuring muted pastels and open fields, these pieces are designed to anchor a room without overwhelming it. Whether you are looking for the warmth of apricot and saffron or the cool serenity of angora gray and seafoam, the Oushak’s distinctive palette and geometric floral motifs offer a sophisticated foundation for living spaces, dining rooms, and grand libraries.
