What Sets Oriental Rugs Apart
Oriental rugs are primarily distinguished throughout the industry by their impeccable craftsmanship and beautiful materials. Oriental rugs are typically produced by highly skilled artisans in locations such as Afghanistan, India or Turkey; and each and every Oriental rug takes a great investment of time and overall labor.
Even an experienced rug-maker will spend up to six months to create a single 6-foot-by-9-foot Oriental rug, which is much longer than the time it takes to produce other more conventional rug styles! Oriental rug creators painstakingly stretch individual strands of wool, cotton or silk across looms, weaving them together into beautiful, storytelling designs that have an incredible amount of cultural meaning within every square inch.
As a testament to the vertical looms on which Oriental rugs are made, they look different when viewed from the top instead of the bottom. Overall, the beauty and purposeful latent meanings behind the aesthetics are virtually unmatched throughout the entire world!

What to Look for in an Oriental Rug
Finding the right Oriental rug starts with your home’s specific spacing, and of course the specific location that you’re thinking about placing your new area rug. For example, the positioning of rugs with a round or diamond motif in the background (also known as a central medallion) could influence how you’re able to position a room’s furniture.
It’s always a good idea to influence an entire room’s overall aesthetics from the floor up, but of course this isn’t always a luxury you’ll be able to have! In general it’s best to first understand the exact minimum and maximum parameters that will work best with your preferred space, and then look for area rugs within those parameters that match your furniture and existing room design.
If you want more freedom in terms of properly arranging your room’s furniture around your area rugs style, then you might prefer an all-over pattern that can better accompany your desired furniture setup. Likewise, pay attention to border colors and guard stripes, because these features should also play a significant role in complementing your room’s overall aesthetics.

Hand-tufted Rugs
While a rug serves many purposes, it is more than a simple floor covering. Rather than something you just walk on, a rug can be the focal point of a room. Instead of being a comforting barrier between your feet and the floor, a rug can be your connecting point with a space. Rather than just feeling good between your toes, a rug can be where you and your kids gather to spend some quality family time.

Oushak Rug History
It’s always important to understand the history behind many of our rugs, and Oushak rugs are no exception. Oushak rugs are actually named after the area of Turkey in which they originated, in Oushak just south of Istanbul. Oushak was one of the largest cities in all of Anatolia, and it became well known for being one of the central focal points of rug production from the 15th century into the 20th century.
Oushak rugs are known to have been influenced by Persian rugs from the Iran area, which is rather different when compared to many other types of Turkish rugs. A lot of rug collectors would define Oushak rugs as sophisticated, but their sophistication is very unique because they aren’t normally considered to be high quality due to a much lower knot count as compared to Persian rugs. But for many this is exactly what makes these rugs so special and unique looking, and still today Oushak rugs are a top choice for professional interior designers.
Although Oushak rugs are traditionally less complicated in terms of their general production, they have always been very decorative and aesthetic. They traditionally have exemplified very large-scale patterns accompanied with soft colorations, and this unique combination has been gaining a lot of traction in today’s trendy culture.
Common Design Characteristics
Oushak rugs have always been unique since their original conception centuries ago, but it’s always important to know what makes these rugs so special as a shopper scrolling through countless options in our online inventory. We fully understand how this type of investment can be pretty complicated because there are so many factors to keep in mind, and that’s why our team is always here to answer your questions.
We know there are so many reasons to fall in love with Oushak rugs like so many of us already have, and here are some of the design characteristics that set Oushak rugs apart from the rest of the rug world!
Texture and Materials
Oushak craftsmanship is widely considered to be some of the best in the entire world, especially when it comes to factors like materials and texture. This is sometimes because rug connoisseurs will not only look at the overall quality of material and texture when grading an Oushak rug, but they’ll also highly consider the carpet’s overall aesthetics.
Some of the common materials used in the production of Oushak rugs include the following:
-
Cotton
-
Wool
-
Silk
-
Metal threads
Although some may consider Oushak rugs simplistic in nature when compared to the very majestic Persian rug industry, there’s a lot to be said about how simplicity in rug texture and material goes much further in some ways than more intricate works of art from other parts of the world!
Weaving Techniques
The weaving techniques associated with Oushak rugs truly are incredible, and it’s one of the most unique techniques in the entire world. Most rug manufacturers and artisans simply cannot weave Oushak rugs, and this is mainly because this weaving technique requires a tremendous amount of strength and overall experience.
What’s so special about Oushak rug weaving is that this technique has been around for centuries and has been passed down from generation to generation of rug designers. The history associated with these weaving techniques is part of what helps Oushak rugs stand out amongst all other rug types, and all of us at Rug Source are very honored to be apart of this history today!
Although there have been more modern modifications to this weaving technique in recent years, there is nothing that can truly replace the original weaving techniques of Oushak rugs. It’s in the artistic history of Oushak rugs that we see its true value and investment potential.
For our online shoppers who are trying to differentiate Oushak rugs from each other, we recommend taking a close consideration at the knot size and overall density with each rug.
Patterns and Designs
Oushak rugs are world renowned for their luminous, silky wool and the unique palette blends of both color and pattern. Many Oushak rugs are accompanied with a golden or dark ivory backdrop that’s highlighted with floral and geometric motifs. There are also many Oushak prayer rugs that feature green coloring, and this is because green is considered to be one of the most sacred colors.
Oushak rugs are almost always made using natural vegetable dyes, and even the more modern renditions will feature soft red and bright blue fields. Although Oushak rugs are typically known for their world-class wool texture, it’s the combination of their overall luminosity that truly let’s the beauty of Oushak rugs shine!
Cultural Significance
What helps differentiate Oushak rugs is its history, but when you’re shopping for an Oushak rug today it will ultimately be the cultural significance that each rug represents that helps drive its value and investment potential.
Oushak rug designs provide glimpses into the past and how this type of artistry has developed over the past 500+ years, and the weaving of these special rugs has ultimately become very important throughout the world. This is why Oushak rugs truly are such a special item to have in your home or office.
