11x16'8'' Hand Knotted Wool Tan, Gold Oushak Transitional Rug
Soft tan and gold tones define this hand-knotted Oushak, the field kept open and airy with a sparse scattering of scrolling vines, small leaves, and faint palmette forms that fade gently into the background. Three subtle medallions run down the central adding to the rugs antiqued character. Hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, this rug has the muted, sun-washed look often associated with older Oushak weavings. The overall effect is a graceful tonal rug suited to any room that it’s placed in. *Note: the color of your rug may appear slightly different in person than it does on screen. This happens because device displays tend to oversaturate color, and because the pile's height causes it to catch and reflect light differently depending on the direction it's brushed, which can shift how a shade reads from one angle to the next. We've done our best to photograph this rug in a way that reflects its true tone, and we'd recommend watching the video below for a more accurate sense of its colors before you order.
