This monumental Oushak carpet, hand-knotted in Turkey during the 1960s, exemplifies the grand scale and serene aesthetic required for substantial interiors. The expansive field is rendered in a sun-faded palette of creamy beige and soft pastels, a hallmark of mid-century Anatolian weaving that sought to balance traditional geometric motifs with an airy, open composition. Its oversized dimensions make it a rare find, perfectly suited for anchoring a great room, hotel lobby, or expansive estate library.
Ideally aligned with Organic Modern and Japandi sensibilities, the rug features a low, shaved pile that enhances the texture of the organic wool while softening the visual impact of the design. The muted colorway allows it to bridge the gap between antique character and contemporary minimalism, offering a foundation of quiet luxury that respects the history of the craft while complementing refined modern furnishings.

◆ Color Palette & Design Insight:
A serene and airy atmosphere defined by sun-softened pastel tones.
(Primary colors: Creamy Beige, Pastel Blue, Soft Pink, Muted Brown)
• The dominant ground color is a warm, sandy creamy beige that adds light to any room.
• Large geometric medallions are articulated in soft pastel blues and faded pinks.
• Subtle accents of muted brown provide necessary definition to the border patterns without creating harsh contrast.
◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
The design follows the classic Oushak tradition of large-scale geometric medallions, which typically symbolize the spiritual center of the universe or the continuity of life. The surrounding field is populated with scattered tribal motifs and stylized floral elements, often representing fertility and the abundance of nature. The border acts as a protective frame, utilizing repeating geometric patterns intended to ward off negative energy. This harmonious arrangement reflects the village weaver's intention to bring balance, protection, and beauty into the living space.
