The Smyrna carpet is an Oushak-inspired hand-knotted rug, its navy field bordered in red — a saturated colour pairing long associated with the historic Aegean port of Smyrna (today's İzmir), through which Anatolian carpets woven inland in Uşak were shipped to European markets for centuries.

Rather than a single large central medallion, Smyrna carries an allover pattern — repeated ivory diamond lozenges connected by scrolling vines, pink and sage-green florets, and small palmettes spread across the full field. This "allover" layout is one of Oushak's signature approaches, letting the pattern breathe rather than pulling the eye to one fixed point. Hand-knotted strand by strand using the traditional Turkish knot, Smyrna is built for generations of use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Oushak-inspired design?
Originating in the Turkish town of Uşak, Oushak weaving is known for open layouts and large-scale motifs — softer and less densely patterned than Persian rugs.
Why is it called "Smyrna"?
Smyrna (now İzmir) was the major Turkish port through which Oushak carpets, woven inland, were historically exported to Europe — navy-and-red colourways like this one were common in that trade.
What is an "allover" pattern?
Rather than one large central medallion, the design repeats smaller motifs — here, diamond medallions and florals — evenly across the whole field.
How is hand-knotted different from hand-tufted?
Hand-knotted rugs are tied knot by knot entirely by hand onto a foundation, with no backing glue — slower to make and more durable than tufted construction.
What is the pile material?
100% New Zealand wool.
How long does a hand-knotted rug last?
With proper care, hand-knotted wool rugs are built to last for generations, not just years.
Which room suits this rug best?
Living rooms and dining rooms — the allover pattern works well under a large furniture grouping without a single focal point to align.
How do I care for it?
Vacuum regularly on suction only, blot spills with a dry cloth, avoid harsh chemicals, and get professional cleaning periodically.
