Lavender Oriental Carpets
Yastik's are small size rugs that are adaptions of traditional Turkish designs. Yastik's were traditionally used on the divans or sofa benches of Turkish living rooms but now fit in so many other places to create a point of interest. Hand-woven in Turkey, where rug weaving is a culture rather than a business.
These attractive rugs are suitable for a wide variety of places, but the significant effect of Oushaks is that they bring space together, making it cozy and warm. The artistic technique of weaving Oushak's knots allows you to create a unique carpet. Antique & Vintage Oushak rugs are typically roughly woven on a woolen backing with a woolen pile, so the sense of luxury helps bring out the vibrant colors, further enhancing the beauty of vintage Oushak rugs. The rug itself is perfectly designed with symmetrical patterns that add depth and beauty. Colors: camel/teals/dark & light taupe/blues.

A wonderful example of a Chinese art deco style rug with magnificent flower heads on vines weaving onto both the rug and border in a wide variety of shades and colors all in great detail.
As the term implies, true Chinese Deco carpets were woven in a short time window, between 1923 and 1931, and in two places: the Chinese capital of Peking (Beijing) and the northeastern city of Tientsin (Tianjin). They were woven in large integrated factories as well as smaller workshops. These carpets were created by American firms for export to the United States. Nichols, Elbrook and Tavshanjian in Tientsin, and Fette in Peking were by far the most active. The Tientsin pieces, almost all in carpet sizes, show thick piles of glossy millspun wool, patterns ranging from Chinese-influenced with vases, leafy branches, seasonal flowers and butterflies, and dragons to wholly abstract, borderless creations with moss and bottle green, scarlet, fuchsia, beige, old gold and various shades of blue, all in unfading, crisp chrome dyes. Many are found still in top condition. The weaves are always moderate to medium, and very regular. There is no uniformity of pattern and most of the surviving carpets are unique. Colors: greens/pale wine/multi.
Aubusson carpets are pile-less and the tapestry is woven from that town to the southwest of Paris, by a group of independent weavers working under Royal or State protection. The designs are strictly classical, neo-classical, or Victorian. They are virtually never “oriental”. The pattern wefts are wool with silk and/or metal thread for details in the more finely woven examples. Sizes tend toward the squarish and pieces 30’ by 30’ are not unknown. The 18th and 19th-century French clients included the nobility and Haute bourgeoisie. Aubusson carpets were also exported to England and are often to be found in country houses. Light colors are the most popular and dark-toned pieces are very rare. Besides traditional Louis furniture, try an Aubusson with the most modern décor; it might surprise you. This light, airy Aubusson small carpet has matching central and corner rose bouquets. The double elliptical leafy wreaths are spaced to give a sense of informality. The corner bosses are ae equally open. The narrow monochrome border is barely noticeable. There are no overtly classical elements and there is just enough rococo feeling to set it off from the more cluttered pseudo-Baroque of the Victorian period. The colors are all-natural and have mellowed from what originally were sharper brighter tones. Aubusson weavers, as with French rug and tapestry artists generally, work in spans of centuries, not years or decades, and they plan on what their creations will look like far into the future. This Aubusson is a study in greens, especially pistachio, restful and precise, calming and yet rigorous.
