Oushak Hand-Knotted Wool Custom Made Modern Rug - Ivory and Blue

Blue flowers are scattered across an open ivory field. The broad forms come from the Oushak tradition of western Anatolia, and the intervals between them give this version its distinctly modern character. There is as much to appreciate in the open wool ground as in the flowers themselves.

The individual knots carry the scattered motifs through the structure of the rug. In the open areas, the spring and warmth of wool are as much a part of its character as the pattern. There is a pleasing difference between seeing the design from the doorway and feeling it underfoot.

Choose a made-to-order size with the full repeat in mind. Its balanced appearance depends on the steady handwork that carries the design across the rug.

“When the upholstery is already patterned, I like to tape out a rug large enough to reach the front legs of both the sofa and chairs. From that distance, the open ivory ground will do as much for the room as the blue.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

MAKER / HERITAGE

The Rug Decor carries forward generations of family experience in rug making. In Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, the knowledge of working a carpet on the loom has passed from artisan to artisan through generations. A border or a flower takes shape through hundreds of small decisions about line, color and tension. Those decisions give a hand-knotted rug a character one comes to appreciate over years of living with it.
