What makes Angora Oushak Rug unique


"I always begin a room with the rug; it is literally the foundation of the space. I then go on to the furniture."

- Lee Radziwill

 

Inspired by an ancient and spiritual connection to the land which they call home, Oushak Rugs have woven homage to nature in their very fibers. Earthen tones of stone, Autumn leaves, shallow pools, and rustic sunsets play with light on the multi-faceted surfaces of these hand-woven art pieces. Each tuft is hand-shorn by artisans to create a truly unique piece that exists as a snapshot of its birthplace and evokes the natural world in any interior space.

Design

Oushak Rugs’ transcendental yet light-hearted designs allow them to be astoundingly versatile. In their ancient profundity, they can create an emotional anchor to any room that can be played with by the talented designer. In a wood-heavy space, their warmth would be complimented. In a stone-heavy space, the natural themes are echoed. And in an ultra-modern space, the juxtaposition creates a visually delightful experience akin to salty and sweet desserts.

Trustworthiness 

Since its creation in 1984, family-owned Anadol Rug has pioneered the modern-age production of Angora Oushaks. We have since become the absolute authority on Authentic Antique Reproduction Angora Oushaks worldwide as we are not only the largest manufacturer of Oushaks but are humbly considered to be the finest producer of them by designers and connoisseurs around the world.


Our rugs are so true to the originals that we are proud to be recognized as the only Angora Oushak producer in the world to own a Geographical Patent for Angora Oushak Rugs as approved by the Turkish Patent Office, Usak Chamber of Commerce, Turkish Ministry of Industry, and the Turkish Union of Chambers & Commodity Exchanges.
 

Responsibility

We hire local artisans in Usak, Turkey - the ancient birthplace of the Oushak Rug - and pay them fair wages to ensure their long-term well-being as well as our rugs’ authenticity. It’s them and their techniques, passed down through generations, that is the secret to our quality. It’s with pride that we partner with and employ hundreds of local artisans to keep the beauty of Oushak Rugs alive and true to their nature, and to do so in an environmentally sustainable way.
 

Technique

To ensure even further accuracy, we utilize hand-spun high-plateau Anatolian wool blended with Angora wool. We use this proprietary blend on original designs and techniques that don’t involve technology or chemicals in the production or finishing process to create a true echo of the past that respects ancient tradition. It’s this respect and attention to detail that makes us certain that our Angora Oushak Rugs will become tomorrow’s next masterpiece antiques.
 

It’s our unyielding commitment to quality and authenticity that has blessed us with AmericasMart’s Most Magnificent Carpet Award seven times!
