Named for the capital city of Turkey, birth country of the modern Oushak construction style. A contrast in construction, design, and color to other traditional hand-knotted rug types, Oushak rugs have a silky sheen, short pile and a rustic antiqued appearance indicative of the nomadic tradition of 15th-Century weavers. Jewel tones prevail in Ankar, with splashes of vivid color bringing each design to life. Constructed by master artisans steeped in tradition, each handcrafted rug is a treasure to behold.
