Bosphorus Navy & Sky Blue Oushak Hand Knotted Wool Rug
Rs. 29,999.00
The Bosphorus carpet is an Oushak-inspired hand-knotted rug, its sky-blue field carrying a bold navy-and-red star medallion. The name recalls the Bosphorus, the strait that runs through Istanbul and links Europe to Anatolia — the same broader Turkish heritage as Uşak, where Oushak weaving began in the 15th century.

Bosphorus pairs a soft sky-blue ground with a richly detailed navy-and-red star medallion at centre, framed by golden florals and dense vine spandrels. This layered, high-contrast composition is typical of larger, more formal Anatolian carpets, where scale and colour depth were used to signal richness. Hand-knotted strand by strand using the traditional Turkish knot, Bosphorus 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 layouts and large-scale medallions — a softer, less densely patterned tradition than Persian rugs.
Why is it named after the Bosphorus?
The Bosphorus is the historic strait connecting Europe and Anatolia through Istanbul — a fitting namesake for a rug carrying Turkish weaving heritage.
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 layered blue-and-red palette works well as a rich, formal 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.
