On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will appreciate this mid-century rug for its whimsical yet smart sensibilities, with a traditional-meets-informal, almost feminine sensibility Oushaks favor. A play of beige-brown, cream, and light pink tones underscore its play of a minimalist border, open field and large-scale floral medallion, with a subtle range of neutral tones and light wood accents the keen eye will further admire. Designers and collectors will also appreciate it as a rare field in the open field style, and it uses 'negative space' in a way seldom seen in such relaxing, almost two-tone colors and humble demeanor. It's a simple, comfortable piece in a spacious, versatile large size, with vast design applications that welcome its old-world elegance and lush look.

Condition:

This vintage Oushak rug further enjoys good condition for its age origin, with only mild wear consistent with its age and shabby-chic sensibility. See less
