What a gorgeous carpet! It’s no wonder the Oushak style is emulated in famous painting by great artists such as Jeanléon Gérôme. Unique, brilliant colors with a subtle refined sense. Large banded borders with oversized design elements. These are the characteristics that evoke a sensational sense of power, and Oushak carpets do just that.

Here is an absolutely stunning Oushak in the size of 11’x13′. Totally in love with all the details from the brilliant orange border to the soft wooded tones and even structural character such as the tightly wound selvage and gorgeous pomegranate red fringe. These details are what make for an impactful carpet. Enjoy!

First day of Spring and it’s snowing here in New York! Manhattan is expected to get 1-3 inches while up in Westchester we’re anticipating up to 5″. As the white powder continues to accumulate in the cold of outside, we’re sure staying warm inside photographing this antique Oushak Carpet:

These older, larger antique Oushak carpets have such a presence about them. Large scale design, open and expansive fields, great colors, heavy handle, durable carpets.

Enjoy!
