    Story Behind the Art:

    Oushak rugs originated in the small town of Oushak in west central Anatolia, roughly 100 miles directly south of the city of Istanbul in Turkey. Oushak has produced some of the most decorative Persian influenced rugs of all times. Oushak has been a production center of Turkish rugs since the 15th century. In the late 15th century the 'design revolution' took place. Before, producing carpets was part of the nomad culture, meeting people's daily needs, but for the first time the works of designing and weaving rugs were split in two. These Turkish rugs began to be produced commercially. Oushak was the center of this new method of production because it had easy access to wool (best Turkish wool comes from Balikesir, Oushak and Kutahya), natural dyes, and had access to the international market. From the 16th up to the 18th century the most famous manufacturers of ottoman times worked in Oushak.

Not Hand Knotted?

orlshopper from Orlando, FL, Jun 25, 2009

This rugs says on the label "Hand Tufted". From the research I did on rugs before I purchased it, this leads me to believe that this is not hand knotted, even though there was no cotton backing. But it's still very beautiful and I would recommend it. The quality is still nicer than you would expect for the price. Colors are a lot darker than the picture online. Very soft feel, if you are looking for a non traditional rug this is a good choice.
