2' x 3' Oushak Floral Hand Knotted Wool Area Rug in Ivory & Multicolor with Fringe

Hand knotted construction places this wool rug in a different category from the machine-made and hand-tufted pieces that make up most of the market at this size. Each knot is tied individually by hand, a process that produces a denser, more durable pile structure and allows for the kind of fine color gradation visible across the floral motifs here — lavender, sage green, teal, peach, gold, and soft purple rendered with enough detail to distinguish individual petals and leaves within each bloom.

The design follows a classic Oushak format: large-scale botanical medallions and scrolling vine stems distributed across an open ivory field, with the motifs spaced generously enough that the ground remains visible and the overall composition feels light rather than dense. A gray border with its own botanical detail frames the field on all four sides, and fine fringe finishes the short edges as a natural extension of the knotted construction.

At 0.2 inches, the pile sits flat — consistent with fine hand knotted wool construction where the density of the knots rather than the pile height determines the quality of the surface. The cotton backing provides stability, and the rug is fade resistant with routine vacuuming care using no beater bar.

At 2 by 3 feet, a hand knotted rug of this quality works best where it can be seen and appreciated up close — beside a bed, in front of a reading chair, or layered over a larger neutral base in a living room. The multicolor floral palette on ivory suits transitional, traditional, and maximalist interiors where pattern and craftsmanship are valued equally.
