Oushak Rugs

Our Oushak rugs are hand-knotted in Afghanistan from hand-spun wool, with soft pastel colour and wide, open patterns that keep a room feeling relaxed.

The Oushak style began in the town of Uşak in western Anatolia, known for large-scale designs and a muted palette. Afghan weavers took up that style and tightened the knot, so the drawing holds more detail and the rug wears well. Palmettes, vines and softened medallions are spaced generously across the field in pale blue, grey, cream, blush and green. Every piece is hand-spun wool, pile and foundation both, and most are newly woven, in rugs and runners.

Because the pattern is open and the colours are quiet, an Oushak sits comfortably in a living room or bedroom with natural timber, linen and pale walls. The runners give the design room to unfold along a hallway or beside a dining table.
