Eliko Rugs by David Ariel Vintage Oushak Rug, Red Allover Field, High Pile

About the Item

Oushak rugs are a type of traditional handwoven rug that originated in the town of Uşak, located in western Turkey. They are highly regarded for their exceptional quality, unique designs, and historical significance. Oushak rugs have a long history dating back to the 15th century during the Ottoman Empire. They gained popularity in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly in France and England, where they were sought after by aristocrats and royalty. Oushak rugs were often used to adorn palaces and mansions, and their luxurious patterns and colors became highly influential in European decorative arts. One of the distinguishing features of Oushak rugs is their design. They typically feature a large-scale pattern with a central medallion surrounded by intricate floral motifs or geometric elements. The designs are often characterized by soft, muted colors, including pastel shades of beige, ivory, blue, and salmon. The combination of the spacious designs and harmonious color palettes gives Oushak rugs a distinctive aesthetic appeal. Another notable characteristic of Oushak rugs is their fine craftsmanship. They are hand-knotted using high-quality wool or a blend of wool and silk. The weaving technique employed in creating these rugs is known as the Ghiordes knot, which produces a dense, durable pile. The pile height of Oushak rugs is generally shorter compared to other rug types, resulting in a smoother texture. Oushak rugs are cherished for their versatility and ability to complement a wide range of interior styles. Whether placed in traditional or contemporary settings, these rugs can add warmth, elegance, and a touch of history to any space. Due to their enduring popularity, Oushak rug designs continue to be reproduced and adapted by rug weavers around the world. We feature this attractively abrashed cardinal red field of this vintage Anatolian that shows an open cartouche leaf lattice with each reserve enclosing a star or double arrowhead. The straw border shows simple four section rosettes and diagonal bars. Moderate weave. Good condition.
