The design is centered around a large geometric lozenge medallion set within a warm salmon-rose field, surrounded by soft ivory spandrels and framed by an elegant border of stylized rosettes and geometric floral motifs.

The rug displays the highly desirable muted palette for which antique Oushaks are renowned. Soft shades of faded coral, rose, ivory, pale celadon, dusty blue, and warm apricot have mellowed beautifully over time, creating a refined and decorative appearance. The simple drawing and spacious composition give the piece a modern aesthetic despite its age.

Particularly appealing is the contrast between the large central medallion and the open field, a design feature often found in older village Oushaks. The wool is soft and lustrous, and the rug retains excellent visual balance and charm.,
