    Size: 12′ x 16’4″ ft.

    Antique Oushak rugs have been woven in Western Turkey since the beginning of the Ottoman period. Historians attributed to them many of the great masterpieces of early Turkish carpet weaving from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. However, less is known about what happened to production there in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. When things become clearer toward 1900, the Oushak region re-emerges as a major center, this time for room-size decorative rugs. Antique Turkish carpets such as these are desirable today as highly decorative pieces. They come in central medallion designs as well as patterns of smaller allover medallions or scattered sprays of vine scroll and palmettes. They are notable for the grand, monumental scale of the designs, often a subdued palette in soft apricot and golden saffron tones whose pleasing qualities are enhanced by their particularly soft and lustrous wool.

The Legacy of Turkish Rugs

Turkish rug weaving dates back centuries, with roots in the Ottoman Empire and even earlier. Historically, these rugs were not only used for decoration but also served practical purposes—offering warmth, comfort, and even religious significance in the form of prayer rugs.

The craft of rug weaving in Turkey has been passed down through generations. Each rug tells a story, often tied to the region it comes from, and every piece is a blend of artistry and functionality. What’s fascinating is that Turkish weavers, particularly in rural villages, have long created these rugs using hand-spun wool and natural dyes. The result is a piece that ages beautifully over time and offers a glimpse into a tradition that has stood the test of time.

What Sets Turkish Rugs Apart?

Turkish rugs are often made by hand, which sets them apart from the machine-made rugs that are so common today. The signature Ghiordes (or Turkish) knot—a tight, double knot—makes these rugs exceptionally durable. It’s this craftsmanship that gives them their longevity, with many Turkish rugs lasting for generations.

When it comes to designs, Turkish rugs vary by region:

  • Oushak rugs: These are some of the most famous Turkish rugs, known for their large, soft floral designs and muted color palettes. Colors like pale blue, gold, and ivory are common, giving Oushak rugs a light, airy feel.
  • Kilim rugs: Flat-woven with geometric patterns, Kilim rugs have a bold, graphic style. They’re typically lighter and more portable, making them versatile for walls or floors.
  • Hereke rugs: These luxurious rugs, often woven with silk, are incredibly intricate and detailed. If you’re looking for something that showcases the highest level of craftsmanship, a Hereke rug is a fantastic choice.

Turkish rugs are often dyed with natural materials—plants, fruits, and minerals—which gives them a rich, deep color that doesn’t fade easily. The colors soften and mellow with time, which adds to their charm.

Caring for Your Turkish Rug

Once you’ve found the perfect Turkish rug, keeping it in good condition requires a little attention and care. While Turkish rugs are built to last, there are a few things you can do to keep them looking their best.

1. Vacuum Regularly

Rugs can trap dirt and dust, so vacuuming regularly will help keep them clean. Be gentle and use the vacuum’s suction-only setting (without the beater bar) to avoid damaging the fibers. If you have a flat-weave Kilim rug, vacuum both sides for a deeper clean.

2. Rotate Your Rug

Foot traffic and sunlight can cause uneven wear over time. To keep your rug from fading or wearing out in certain spots, rotate it every few months. This is especially important if your rug is in a high-traffic area like a living room or hallway.

3. Spot Cleaning

Accidents happen—if you spill something on your rug, clean it up immediately. Blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth, but don’t rub it, as that can push the stain deeper into the fibers. For tougher stains, mix a little mild soap with water and blot gently.

4. Protect from Sunlight

Direct sunlight can cause the colors of your Turkish rug to fade. If your rug is in a sunny spot, consider using curtains or blinds to reduce exposure. You can also rotate the rug regularly to minimize sun damage.

5. Professional Cleaning

Even with regular care, a professional cleaning every few years is a good idea. Make sure to take your rug to a professional cleaner who specializes in handmade rugs. They’ll know how to handle delicate fibers and natural dyes to restore your rug without causing damage.

6. Avoid Moisture

Turkish rugs, especially those made from wool, don’t do well in damp environments. Keep your rug dry to prevent mold and mildew from forming. If it does get wet, dry it out as soon as possible by hanging it in a well-ventilated area or using a fan.

What to Look for When Buying a Turkish Rug

Whether you’re shopping in person or online, there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure you’re getting an authentic, high-quality Turkish rug:

  • Check the Material: Most authentic Turkish rugs are made from wool, silk, or a wool-cotton blend. Wool is the most durable, while silk offers a more luxurious feel.
  • Handmade vs. Machine-Made: Authentic Turkish rugs are hand-knotted, which gives them slight imperfections and a unique character. Machine-made rugs, while cheaper, lack the craftsmanship and durability of handmade ones.
  • Ask About the Origin: Turkish rugs come from specific regions, and knowing the origin can give you insight into the quality and style. For example, Oushak and Hereke are two famous rug-making regions in Turkey.

Conclusion
