The Marmara carpet is an Oushak-inspired hand-knotted rug, its ivory field covered in an allover lattice of florals and vine scrolls in sea-blue and sage green. The name recalls the Sea of Marmara, the inland sea that connects the Aegean to the Black Sea across Turkey — part of the same broader heritage as Uşak, where this style of weaving began in the 15th century.

Marmara carries the soft, open colour register Oushak rugs are prized for — sea-blue and sage against a light ivory ground, rather than dense, saturated colour. Rather than a single dominant medallion, connected palmettes and vine scrolls spread evenly across the field, letting the pattern breathe and reading calm from across a room. Hand-knotted strand by strand, Marmara is built for generations of use.
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, spacious layouts and softer colour palettes than Persian rugs.
What is an "allover" pattern?
Rather than one large central medallion, the design repeats smaller florals and vine scrolls evenly across the whole field.
Why is it named after the Sea of Marmara?
The Sea of Marmara connects the Aegean and Black Seas through Turkey, a fitting namesake for the soft blue-and-ivory palette here.
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 bedrooms — the light ivory ground keeps a room feeling open and airy.
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.
