Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Indoor Rug

Oushak Rugs are the most popular and one of the oldest traditional rugs. Oushak (Usak) rugs that use a particular family of designs, called by convention after the city of Ushak, Turkey. Oushak rugs are known for the silky, luminous wool they work with. The dyes tend towards: cinnamon, terracotta tints, gold, blues, greens, ivory, saffron and greys. The soft wool is obtained from the chest of a lamb where it's softer because of the minimal sun exposure. The fairly larger knots used in this type of rugs enable larger patterns on the rug which is a designers delight. Most of the dyes are obtained from natural vegetables because of the lighter colours used in these rugs.
