Origin

Modern hand-knotted Oushak rugs are a beautiful combination of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Oushak rugs have been made in Turkey for centuries and are known for their characteristic colours and mostly large, floral patterns. We have reinterpreted the traditional Oushak rug to suit contemporary interiors. Bright, bold colours and partly abstract patterns give Oushak rugs a contemporary, refreshing aesthetic. Special dyeing and washing techniques give our Oushak rugs their distinctive vintage look.

Our Oushak rugs are particularly at home in living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas and offices. With their blend of traditional craftsmanship and generous floral, modern design, they are a timeless classic that will give you pleasure for many years.

Material

The technique used to prepare the materials for the pile of this Oushak is more than 200 years old. The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant dyes is more complicated, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical colours. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dyestuff per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that is not too pale, it even takes two kilograms of dyer's weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is time-consuming and labour-intensive too. And fewer and fewer people still master spinning wool by hand.

But the effort is worth it: dyeing with natural colours allows the high-quality wool to keep its natural oil content. Wool that has been dyed with natural colours and spun by hand creates fascinating, shimmering patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool, with its slight irregularities and natural shades, comes into its own as a contrast in modern interiors, but equally in rooms furnished in a more traditional or country style.

The weft and warp threads of this Oushak are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.

A note on the photos

The colours of this rug change depending on which side you look at it from. It all depends on whether the light falls with the nap of the pile or against it. That is why we have photographed the rug from several angles.

Child labour? No thanks.

Child labour? No thanks. Children belong in school, not at a knotting frame or a loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour.

We attach particular importance to humane working conditions and tolerate no child labour at any of our producers. Thank you for helping us to ensure fair conditions.

That is why we support the initiative Care & Fair against child labour in the rug trade.
