On The Design:

One fundamental idea that R & K Principal, Jahanshah Nazmiyal has long taught to his colleagues and teammates is that the best handmade modern rugs are made after one masters the classics. This piece is our collection’s contribution to classic styles reinterpreted completely in a modern fashion, reflecting a painterly interpretation of “ushak” design, (often spelled “Oushak” in our field). Admirers of the craft will note a special new yarn that our Principal is proud to introduce to Oushak designs—a construction which has a notable weight and sheen to it in cool colors seldom seen in this style.

This modern Oushak features oversized floral medallions in ivory against a midnight blue field, creating dramatic contrast. The border presents abstracted vine motifs in pale blue-gray, framing the bold central composition. The restricted palette—teal, cream, and navy blue—transforms traditional Persian floral elements into a contemporary statement through scale and simplicity. Keen eyes will further admire the outstanding sense of depth in the patterns, achieved through detail and use of color alone, making it a particularly special piece of meticulous craft. It’s both an elegant choice for the modern space and a thoughtful contribution to one of the most regal provenances in handmade Oriental rugs. See less
