Nicaea Olive Medallion Hand Knotted Wool Rug
Rs. 29,999.00
The Nicaea carpet is a hand-knotted rug with a central medallion, its olive-green field carrying a pink-and-ivory medallion at centre, framed by a navy border with hook motifs. The name recalls Nicaea, the ancient name for İznik, one of the most celebrated centres of Anatolian art and craftsmanship.

Unlike the open, allover Oushak layouts, Nicaea carries paired medallions at top and bottom of the field, a more formal, focal composition. The olive-green ground with soft pink accents is a warmer, earthier variation within the Anatolian palette, bordered by a graphic navy hook pattern typical of tribal weaving traditions. Hand-knotted strand by strand, Nicaea is built for generations of use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it named after Nicaea?
Nicaea is the ancient name for İznik, a city celebrated for its Anatolian art and craftsmanship traditions.
How is this different from an "allover" Oushak pattern?
Rather than repeating small motifs across the whole field, Nicaea uses paired medallions as clear focal points.
What does the medallion represent?
Medallion motifs in Anatolian weaving traditionally symbolise balance, often framed by floral borders 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 studies — the earthy olive tone pairs well with wood furniture and warm interiors.
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.
