Its low-pile texture and intricate central medallion make it an effortless bridge between traditional craftsmanship and modern minimalism.

Originating from the Oushak region of the Aegean, these rugs are world-renowned for their distinctive star-medallion patterns and soft, luminous wool. By the 1970s, Oushak weavers perfected the art of the "shaved" look, creating textiles that offer high-end aesthetics without the bulk. This piece embodies the soul of Western Anatolian village life, where every knot represents a moment of heritage.

◆ What Is a Turkish Rug?: A Turkish rug is a hand-knotted masterpiece, crafted using the symmetrical 'Ghiordes' knot—a double-knot technique unique to the Anatolian weaving tradition. These authentic vintage textiles are made from 100% natural wool and organic vegetable dyes, ensuring durability and a rich, soulful character that machine-made rugs cannot replicate. Each rug tells a story through ancient geometric symbols and tribal motifs, bringing timeless heritage and artisanal warmth to modern interior designs.
