Oushak-Anatolian-Kars Rugs
The four central emblems sit so well in the centre of this 1940s hand knotted Oushak rug. The three minor and one major border all enclose the main ground and create a wonderfully gentle look in this delightful piece. The rug-weaving town of Oushak is in west-central Anatolia, approximately 100 miles south of Istanbul. It's believed weaving began there during the 15th and 16th
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
