Pergamon Red Oushak Hand Knotted Wool Rug
Rs. 29,999.00
The Pergamon carpet is an Oushak-inspired hand-knotted rug, its rust-red field framed by an ivory medallion at centre, picked out with a cross-star motif. The name recalls Pergamon, the ancient city of western Anatolia — part of the same broader region as Uşak, where Oushak weaving began in the 15th century.

Pergamon's rust-red ground and ivory medallion is a classic Anatolian colour pairing, achieved historically through natural madder-root dye. The star-shaped centre motif, surrounded by dense floral vines and rosettes, is drawn in the bold, formal manner typical of larger, more ceremonial Anatolian carpets. Hand-knotted strand by strand, Pergamon is built to be walked on for generations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Oushak-inspired design?
Originating in the Turkish town of Uşak in western Anatolia, Oushak weaving is known for open layouts and large-scale medallions — a softer, less densely patterned tradition than Persian rugs.
What gives this rug its rust-red colour?
Traditional Anatolian dyeing used madder root to achieve this warm rust-red tone, one of the most enduring natural dyes in the region's weaving history.
What does the star medallion represent?
Star and cross motifs in Anatolian weaving traditionally symbolise balance and cosmic order, often framed by floral spandrels representing renewal.
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 warm rust-red tone anchors a room without overwhelming it.
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.
