{"product_id":"gray-handknotted-wool-aor21351","title":"Gray Ivory 8'2''x9'11'' Oushak Arts \u0026 Crafts Traditional Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoftly weathered color and nature-inspired ornament give this hand-knotted Oushak wool area rug the relaxed character of a carefully preserved antique textile. The dove-gray field is decorated with sweeping ivory palmettes, scrolling vines, and organic botanical forms inspired by the Arts \u0026amp; Crafts tradition, while warm taupe and light-gold borders gently frame the composition. Rather than relying on sharp contrast, the muted earth-toned palette creates a sun-washed appearance that allows the intricate pattern to blend naturally into its surroundings. Hand-knotted from pure wool, the rug offers rich texture and subtle variation across its surface, reinforcing the authentic character of handmade craftsmanship. Its combination of gray, ivory, taupe, and gold coordinates beautifully with natural woods, linen upholstery, leather, stone, and warm neutral furnishings. This traditional Oushak area rug works equally well as a living room rug, dining room rug, bedroom rug, home office rug, or Arts \u0026amp; Crafts interior accent, delivering timeless botanical design and understated elegance without overwhelming the room. 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.

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":52301287686364,"sku":"AOR21351","price":1399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21351_20shopify_20aor.jpg?v=1787209909","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/gray-handknotted-wool-aor21351","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
