On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will appreciate Oushaks for their delicious and unexpected design choices among other Oriental rugs of their caliber.

The design employs classical Ottoman sensibilities with the stellate medallion and both masculine and feminine design elements in this intricate geometric-floral design, and the bold and inviting pairing of russet red and beige hues that plays beautifully with the distinguished, rare medallion field design overlapping the innermost borders.

The rarity of Oushak pieces employing this distinct medallion pattern in tandem with a variety of rejuvenative designs lends this piece strength in decor and conversation, teeming with a body of rich history and quality.

The rug’s earthy palette represents either intentional aesthetic minimalism or the effects of age-related fading on original madder dyes.

It’s an exemplary choice for the traits that Oushaks are celebrated for—from the uniquely feminine undertone to the more approachable, yet still regal sensibility it achieves—a grand collectible of the best large size one might find these rugs in today.
