Hand Knotted Oushak Rug
Oushak rugs represent one of the most revered and enduring traditions in the world of textile craftsmanship. For centuries, these rugs have been cherished by sultans, aristocrats, and collectors alike — admired not only for their elegant beauty but for the profound artistry and patience that each one embodies.
Every Oushak rug is a masterpiece born from time and devotion. The process begins with hand-spun wool, often blended with silk or cotton for a soft, elegant look. The dyes — derived from natural sources like pomegranate, madder root, and indigo — are meticulously prepared to achieve the warm, muted tones that define the Oushak aesthetic.
The skilled artisans, often following ancestral techniques passed down through generations, tie each knot by hand with a precision born from decades of practice. A single large Oushak rug may contain hundreds of thousands of knots, each representing a moment of human touch — a heartbeat of craftsmanship and heritage, now in Le Alfré style.
