Dark Blue 9'10''x14'1'' Oushak Southwestern Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug

This striking hand-knotted Oushak rug presents a bold fusion of Southwestern-inspired geometry and traditional Turkish weaving, defined by dramatic medallions set against a deep, saturated navy-blue field that instantly grounds and energizes a space. Crafted from high-quality wool on a strong cotton foundation, the design features three prominent ivory hexagonal medallions aligned vertically, each filled with tribal-style detailing and encircled by angular sawtooth patterns in soft sky blue that establish rhythm and visual flow. Warm rust-red accents punctuate the composition, adding depth and contrast to the cooler tones. The beige border is finished with a refined Greek key pattern, lending architectural balance and classical structure to the overall design. Every knot reflects skilled craftsmanship, bringing clarity and precision to the bold motifs. This handmade wool rug bridges rustic and contemporary aesthetics, making it equally suited for lodge-style interiors, eclectic spaces, or modern settings seeking a strong graphic presence and enduring style.

Story Behind he Art: Southwestern rugs celebrate the weaving traditions of the Native American tribes of the American Southwest, particularly the Navajo (Diné), Pueblo, and Hopi peoples, whose textile artistry spans centuries. Traditionally handwoven from hand-spun wool dyed with natural pigments derived from plants, minerals, and insects, these rugs are characterized by warm, earthy color palettes inspired by desert landscapes, clay, stone, sky, and soil. Geometric forms dominate the design vocabulary, featuring repeating diamonds, stepped motifs, zigzags, crosses, and linear arrangements, with symmetry and repetition providing rhythm and cohesion. Contemporary Southwestern rugs often soften these palettes to include washed grays, muted blues, and neutral shades while preserving the essence of the style. The resulting textiles maintain their rugged authenticity and cultural storytelling, offering versatile, visually compelling pieces that honor centuries-old techniques while complementing modern interiors with their grounded, natural aesthetic.
