{"product_id":"beige-handknotted-wool-aor21372","title":"Beige Tan 8x10 Oushak Transitional Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"Hand-knotted in the Oushak tradition, this wool area rug lays a borderless, edge-to-edge damask of acanthus scrolls and drooping palmettes across a soft beige ground in taupe, tan, and cool gray. Rather than reading as a formal medallion carpet, the pattern has the softened, all-over quality of faded silk brocade. The low cut pile catches light unevenly across its surface, so the field appears to shift from pale sand to shadowed gray depending on the viewing angle and light in the room. Hand-knotted on a cotton foundation, this understated oriental area rug has a quiet, tonal presence that still manages to become the most compelling element in the space. It works beautifully in a living room, bedroom, dining room, or home office looking for a neutral, texturally rich rug that leads without shouting. Note: This rug was photographed under studio lighting, which means the colors on screen may appear a little more vibrant than they do in person. We'd recommend watching the video below for a truer sense of the palette.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8x10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Kalaty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Beige, Tan, Taupe, Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.6 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: AOR21372\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art: Oushak rugs trace their design heritage to the historic weaving center of Oushak in west-central Anatolia, where distinctive carpets became admired for their generous scale, expressive patterning, and inviting texture. Traditional Oushak designs often feature broad geometric forms, prominent central medallions, repeating smaller medallions, scrolling vines, palmettes, and loosely arranged botanical motifs. Unlike highly compact patterns, the spacious compositions associated with Oushak weaving allow individual elements and surrounding fields to remain visually open and balanced. Lustrous wool and softly blended earth-inspired colors further contribute to their recognizable character, frequently producing warm, gently aged-looking palettes. This combination of large-scale ornament, comfortable texture, and adaptable coloring has helped Oushak-inspired rugs remain relevant across traditional, transitional, and contemporary interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Oriental Rug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52391864008924,"sku":"AOR21372","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21372_20shopify_20aor.jpg?v=1788166156","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/beige-handknotted-wool-aor21372","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
