Rug 96048

A large rectangle of wool with a low, even surface spreads out like a quiet landscape. The ground is gray, soft and steady, showing gentle movement as the pile leans one way and then the other; the tone remains muted, so nothing shouts. Across this gray field, a loose network of vine scrolls wanders in ivory, the lines soft and rounded, turning like calm water. From these vines grow broad, simplified floral and arabesque forms—rounded palmettes, starry rosettes, and leafy brackets—each one separated so the eye can glide from shape to shape without crowding.
Colors arrive in quiet steps. Larger blossoms open in light blue with ivory crosses at their centers; nearby, rounded leaves and shield-like petals hold olive and beige, sometimes edged by a faint mustard thread that warms the outline. Small accents of brown nestle in the details like shadow, but the general feel stays airy and balanced. The color transitions are smooth; light blue slides into ivory, olive into beige, and the gray ground keeps everything calm.
Around the field, multiple borders build a frame. Closest to the center runs a narrow gray inner line, then a wide ivory band filled with relaxed floral repeats: soft rosettes and curling leaves in light blue, olive, beige, and touches of mustard. Outside this, another gray and olive track settles the rim before the fringe begins. The turns at each corner feel soft and unforced; the pattern simply rounds the angle and continues, keeping the rhythm even.
From a distance, the rug reads as a gentle gray garden enclosed by an ivory wall. Step closer and the eye finds the vine scrolls linking every flower, the light blue rosettes that cool the surface, the olive and beige leaves that bring a natural hush, and the little strokes of mustard and brown that add depth. Under hand, the pile is low and even, the edge finishing clean, the whole piece steady and tranquil—an Oushak that feels transitional in drawing, floral in spirit, and perfectly suited to rooms that need calm color and quiet structure.
