Effortlessly bridging the gap between antique charm and modern sensibilities, this hand-knotted Afghan rug reimagines the classic Oushak aesthetic for the contemporary home. The piece is anchored by a serene, steel-blue field that features a beautiful, natural variation in color (abrash), giving it a sense of depth and movement akin to water or sky.
Floating across this cool backdrop are oversized, stylized floral motifs rendered in soft ivory, muted terracotta, and sage. The design is framed by a broad, airy border that echoes the central theme but with a lighter, cream-based palette. At over 10 by 14 feet, this rug possesses the scale and quiet elegance to serve as the foundation for a grand living room or a formal dining space, imparting a sense of history without feeling heavy or dated.
