The Anatolia carpet is an Oushak-inspired hand-knotted rug — a deep navy field bordered in red, centred on an eight-pointed star medallion picked out in sky blue and cream. This "star Ushak" layout is one of the most recognised classic patterns to come out of Uşak, the western Anatolian town where this weaving tradition began in the 15th century.

Anatolia is knotted using the traditional Turkish (Ghiordes) knot technique, tied by hand strand by strand rather than machine-punched — the same method used in antique Anatolian weaving. Where many Oushak rugs lean toward soft, faded tones, Anatolia takes a richer, more jewel-toned path — navy and red held at fuller saturation for a bolder statement piece, framed by scrolling vines and palmettes that traditionally symbolise renewal and continuity.
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 medallions — a softer, less densely patterned tradition than Persian rugs.
What is a "star medallion" pattern?
An eight-pointed star shape at the centre of the rug, one of the most recognised classic Oushak layouts, traditionally read as a symbol of balance and cosmic order.
What is the Ghiordes knot?
The traditional Turkish hand-knotting technique used in authentic Anatolian rug-making, where each knot is tied by hand around two warp threads.
Why is this rug more richly coloured than a typical soft-toned Oushak?
Oushak's natural-dye palette ranges from faded pastels to deeper jewel tones like this navy-and-red — depending on the design era being referenced.
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.
Which room suits this rug best?
Living rooms and dining rooms — the bold navy-and-red palette works well as a grounding anchor piece.
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.
