A Distressed Vintage Oushak Rug with Subtle Color and Timeless Presence
Handwoven approximately 80 years ago in the renowned Gördes–Uşak region of Turkey, this vintage Oushak rug embodies the quiet elegance and relaxed refinement that make these rugs so enduringly sought after. Crafted using vegetable-dyed wool on a cotton foundation, it has aged gracefully, developing a soft, naturally distressed patina that adds warmth and depth without overwhelming the space.
Design & Color Story
The rug features a large-scale central medallion framed by delicate floral motifs—an iconic Oushak composition interpreted here in a restrained, modern palette. Ivory tones form a luminous base, subtly accented by soft gray-green hues that add dimension while maintaining a calm, neutral presence. The gentle fading enhances the design, allowing the pattern to feel integrated rather than decorative.
