Antique Oushak Traditional Beige and Red Wool Rug 12658

Originating from Europe in 1910, this antique traditional Oushak rug employs a seldom-seen abundance of various oriental symbols. Hand knotted in high-quality wool, the geometric field and border designs alike feature variations of the eight-pointed star (symbolizing the womb of the mother goddess) in chilling mint green, burgundy red, and beige. Complemented by a rich mihrab design with Boteh patterns (representing flame and the universe) in the field and a wrapping series of blossoms in each of the borders, both the abundance of the eight-pointed star, as well as the rotating beige and red windmill patterns to its colorways, contribute to the distinct individuality of this piece among Oushak rugs.
