Warm and inviting with romantic connotations, this hand knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug is a captivating vision of woven beauty. The floral pattern and rustic earth-tone colors woven into this piece work together creating a truly classic look. The abrashed field features an allover pattern composed of cabbage roses. The painterly appearance of the flowers is quite striking when set against the striated waves of soft red abrash. The simple coffee-colored border effectively pulls in the accent colors of the field. Its tree of life design represents the connecting link between heaven and earth.

Adopted by Turkish, Caucasian, and Persian rug-weavers from European designs, such as those of the Savonnerie rug workshops in France, the cabbage rose motif depicts a naturalistic overhead view of large roses in full bloom. In this particular Oushak rug, the blooms seem to take on a poppy or pansy-like appearance, perhaps representing flowers more common to the region. With its delightful and charming floral designs, this vintage Oushak rug would enhance any space.

Rendered in variegated shades of brick red, rust, beige, orange, amethyst, rose, mauve, coffee, tan and charcoal with other accent colors.
