A Vintage Gördes Oushak Rug with Stylized Medallion and Soft Elegance
This vintage Oushak rug is hand-knotted in the Gördes region of Turkey approximately 65 years ago using a wool pile on a cotton foundation and naturally dyed with vegetable pigments. Designed to balance durability with visual lightness, it offers a soft, inviting texture underfoot while showcasing the refined craftsmanship associated with Gördes weaving traditions.
Design & Color Story
The rug features a large, stylized central medallion surrounded by small floral motifs that add subtle detail without overwhelming the design. Rendered in a harmonious palette of beige, aquamarine, and ivory, the composition feels calm, airy, and quietly expressive. The blend of traditional structure and softened coloration allows the rug to work seamlessly across both modern and classic interiors.
