- Oushak rugs, renowned for their soft color palettes and distinctive, eccentric designs, originate from the historic weaving center of Oushak … more Oushak rugs, renowned for their soft color palettes and distinctive, eccentric designs, originate from the historic weaving center of Oushak in western Turkey. This region boasts the longest continuous history of rug weaving in the world, dating back to at least the mid-fifteenth century. Historically oriented towards commercial production, Oushak has produced rugs and carpets in a wide range of sizes, from small scatter rugs to large carpets fit for mansions. These rugs have been a staple in both the domestic markets of the Turkish/Ottoman empire and in international markets, including Britain and America. One notable mention of an Oushak rug is its presence beneath George Washington and his family in the best-known family portrait of the Founder, underscoring its status in American historical iconography. The color scheme of these rugs typically includes shades of light beige, blues, and ivory, contributing to their timeless appeal and widespread popularity. less
