This rug is a unique piece of world art that will enhance your living space. The design of these Oushak rugs originated in the small town of Oushak in West Central Anatolia about 100 miles south of Istanbul Turkey. Oushak has produced some of the most decorative Persian influenced rugs of all time. Oushak rugs are made by local village weavers led by the Haldun family and the wool comes from the sheep in local villages. The knot count per square inch for this rug is 160. The rug is 100 percent wool with vegetable dyes. The pile height is 0.25 inches. Color include gold brown olive beige gray and green. This rug is considered semi-antique because it was made in the 1940 . Due to the handmade nature of our rugs the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come.Herat Oriental has been providing beautiful authentic handmade rugs to Worldstock for over 10 years. Worldstock has given us the opportunity to create jobs for over 2000 local village weavers which helps them to greatly support their families. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan Pakistan and India. As we grow with Worldstock we are able to create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. The community also thrives from rug weaving as the local farmers benefit from wool sales and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs.What is Worldstock?The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color size and design.
