Celebrated for its generous scale and serene, luminous palette. Defined by oversized palmettes, an uncluttered central field, and a breathing border that allows spaces to feel expansive. Originating from the historic weaving traditions of Western Anatolia, this timeless layout is meticulously hand-knotted in pure wool and natural dyes to anchor grand architectural rooms.

Details

Origin
Afghanistan
Tradition
Oushak
Technique
Hand-knottedEvery knot is tied around the warp threads by hand and cut; the cut ends are the pile. It is the slowest of these and the only one that can hold a curve.
Material
Wool on woolWool pile on a wool foundation — warp, weft and pile all one fibre. The oldest construction and the one that gives underfoot.
Dye
Natural dyesColour from plants and minerals — madder, indigo, walnut, pomegranate. Each dye lot differs slightly, and that difference is what abrash is.

The descent

Where the drawing comes from.

Much of what is known about the age of this drawing comes from European painting. It turns up under the feet of sitters in dated portraits, so the pictures carry the years and the weaving carries the design. Behind those portraits stand the Ottoman workshops that first set it out, and it has been drawn continuously since.

Good to know

Size, colour, carriage, and what one of one means.

The six answers a buyer wants before a rug of this value leaves İstanbul. Anything else, ask — a person reads it.

Every question, answered
When does it leave, and when does it arrive?

It is dispatched from İstanbul within one to two business days of your order and travels by air courier — at your door within three to five days of dispatch, customs permitting. We write with the carrier and the tracking number on the day it leaves.

Will the colour be exactly what I see in the photographs?

Close, and never quite even. Hand-dyed wool shifts a little across a field rather than holding one flat tone, and where the dye is a natural one that shift has a name — abrash. It is evidence of how the colour was made rather than a fault in it. Every piece page names its dye and says what that dye does, so you can read what you are looking at.

Can I send it back?

Fourteen days from delivery. No reason is required and none will be asked for. Write to us and we book the collection with the same courier; return carriage is at your cost, and the refund goes to the card you paid with, in full, once the piece is back with us.

What does one of one mean here?

The rug in the photographs is the rug that arrives, with its own reference, its own measurements and its own irregularities. The drawing is older and is shared — a piece carrying it may have been woven at another size. Ask, and we will say what there is.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the seating group rather than the room — a rug wants at least the front feet of the seating standing on it. Every piece is listed at its exact size, in the system you measure in, so you can hold those figures against the floor you have. Under a dining table, allow for the chairs drawn back; beside a bed, let the rug run out where feet actually land.

What if nothing listed fits the room?

A rug can be made. Tell us the room, the size and what it has to live with, and we will say what is possible and what it would cost before anything is begun. A commissioned piece is made for you and cannot be returned.
