Big, painterly flowers in ivory, gold and red float across the gray field, giving this Oushak-style piece a bright, modern feel, inside a beige border. Measuring 8'0'' x 10'3'', it is a 8x10 hand knotted Ziegler rug in an Oushak style.
Contemporary Ziegler rugs draw on antique Persian designs but scale up the motifs, so they read clearly in today's larger rooms. Here the gray ground and beige frame create a bright and relaxed balance. Skilled artisans in Pakistan hand knot it with the Turkish double knot from a blend of hand-spun local and merino wool, rich in lanolin. The pile is stone-washed and sun-dried, giving it a soft sheen, a subtle abrash and an antique look.
It is a great choice for an open-plan living area, a formal sitting room, a home library or a large home office. Its relaxed, colorful look suits bohemian, eclectic, modern and transitional rooms.
