60744 William Morris Turkish Oushak Rug, 11'07 x 14'10.

In this hand-knotted wool modern Turkish Oushak rug, contemporary elegance merges seamlessly with the timeless allure of British Arts & Crafts style. Drawing inspiration from the works of renowned artisans like William Morris and Charles Voysey, the rug features naturalistic botanical formations and a nature-inspired color palette that evoke the essence of the Arts & Crafts movement. Against a backdrop of light gray and baby blue striations, an allover geometric floral pattern unfolds, reminiscent of a garden symphony in full bloom. Calyxes, open blossoms, sophisticated acanthus, and delicate tendrils dance rhythmically among arabesque vines, creating a lively and captivating tableau.

The rug's elegant botanical border, adorned with acanthus scrolls and organic forms, serves as a lush enclosure to this masterpiece, further emphasizing its connection to the Arts & Crafts movement. Rooted in the celebration of craftsmanship and simple, informal folk styles of decoration, this rug pays homage to the principles championed by leading designers of the movement, such as William Morris and C.F.A. Voysey. By embracing hand-knotted rug making and crafting high-quality woven textiles, these artisans sought to counter the overly decorative manufactured goods popular at the time, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to inspire today.

Continuing the tradition of the Arts & Crafts movement, this authentic Turkish Oushak rug showcases a bold, oversized design and an earthy color palette inspired by the natural world. With its unmistakable aesthetic and rich historical significance, this rug would be a welcome addition to any interior space, particularly those inspired by the Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau, or Prairie School movements.
