Hand-knotted in wool and silk, this 11x16 rug is a bold reimagining of Oushak rugs in one of Rug & Kilim’s most elegant new Modern Classics Collections. On the Design: In this piece, a charcoal black field and brick red border underscores an intricate series of floral patterns that recapture the elegant, feminine beauty of an Oushak in a fresh new fashion. Keen eyes will further note especially present ice blue and cream white tones, among the many magnificent and varied colors at play. Admirers of the craft will especially appreciate how the weaving technique further complements the old-world look of the pattern, while it still enjoys a high-quality, luxury construction, both durable and comfortable in any space. These and many other beauties mark a thoughtful and inventive contribution to the rustic, old-world charm and transitional whimsy of Oushak rugs that distinguishes them from other traditional Oriental rug provenances. This piece is an intentional contribution to a classic style for a more contemporary level of comfort, and one of the many beauties that makes this collection a sophisticated, smart new language in design. The culmination of these elements and more results in an elegant reinvention of a timeless tradition with thoughtful and refreshing contemporary contributions for today’s designer.
