{"product_id":"beige-handknotted-newzealandwool-aor20898","title":"Beige Gray 7'11''x9'6'' Oushak Transitional Silky Sheen Hand Knotted New Zealand Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"Designed around the graceful proportions and relaxed ornament of traditional Oushak weaving, this hand-knotted New Zealand wool rug combines historical character with a softly updated palette. Large-scale palmettes and botanical forms unfold across the surface in layers of beige, gray, caramel, and tranquil blue, creating an open composition that feels decorative without becoming visually heavy. Each knot is individually formed by skilled artisans, giving the pile subtle variations in texture and tone that reinforce its handcrafted character. A specialized high-sheen finish enhances the natural softness of the New Zealand wool and allows the colors to shift gently as daylight moves across the surface, creating greater dimension from different viewing angles. Plush and inviting underfoot, this sophisticated Oushak rug works beautifully as a foundation for living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, or transitional interiors where traditional pattern is desired in a lighter, more versatile form. Note: This rug was photographed under studio lighting, which can make the colors appear slightly brighter or more saturated on screen than they do in person. We recommend viewing the accompanying video for a more accurate impression of the beige, gray, caramel, and blue palette.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 7'11\"x9'6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: New Zealand Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Beige, Gray, Blue, Caramel, Muted Earth Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.3 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition:  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New with Tag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: AOR20898\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art: Oushak weaving is distinguished by a relaxed visual rhythm that developed in western Anatolia, where artisans favored broad-scale ornament over tightly packed detail. Large palmettes, softly angular blossoms, geometric medallions, and scrolling vines are often arranged across open fields that allow the wool background to play an important role in the overall composition. The natural luster of wool gives these motifs added depth, especially when paired with the muted golds, beiges, greens, rusts, and softened blues associated with the style. This balance of open spacing, generous pattern, and subdued color has helped Oushak rugs remain enduring favorites in both traditional and contemporary interiors, where they bring historic character without feeling overly formal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Oriental Rug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52172856393948,"sku":"AOR20898","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A20898_20aor.jpg?v=1786094660","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/beige-handknotted-newzealandwool-aor20898","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
