Camel Beige Floral Hand Knotted Wool Rug, Oushak Style Slate Blue Border

This camel beige floral hand knotted wool rug sets a diagonal lattice of slate blue, olive and rust palmettes with navy outlines across a warm camel field, scattered with ivory leaves and small diamond motifs. A slate blue border of rust and ivory blossoms, finished with ivory and olive guard bands, frames the design. It is made by hand in Bhadohi, India, in wool. The warm neutral ground with blue accents suits traditional and transitional living rooms, bedrooms and dining spaces.

Why this construction

Hand-knotting ties each knot to the foundation threads by hand, which gives a dense, durable pile that can last for decades with ordinary care. It is slower than tufting and shows in the outlined palmettes and fine leaf detail.

Materials and craftsmanship

The pile is wool, dyed in a camel beige, slate blue, olive, rust, navy and ivory palette. Natural tonal variation (abrash) in the beige field is part of the character of a handmade rug. The palmette-lattice design follows the Oushak tradition and is woven by artisans in Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, a long-established hand-knotting centre. It is a new rug, not an antique.

Styling and placement

Camel beige and slate blue pair well with light and mid-tone oak floors, cognac leather, denim or navy upholstery, olive accents and brass in traditional, transitional, coastal and modern farmhouse rooms. In a living room, keep at least the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug. In a dining room, size it so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out.

Care, variation and longevity

Vacuum regularly without a beater bar, blot spills quickly and rotate the rug every six to twelve months. Expect some loose wool fibre in the first weeks, which is normal for a new wool rug. Colour and size vary slightly between handmade pieces. With good care, a hand-knotted wool rug can last for decades. Use a felt-and-rubber rug pad.

Frequently asked questions

Will this rug shed?

New wool rugs shed loose surface fibres for the first few weeks, then settle. Regular vacuuming without a beater bar reduces it.

Is it pet-safe?

Wool is a resilient natural fibre and the rug uses no latex backing. Blot accidents promptly and have it professionally cleaned if stained.

Is the main colour beige or blue?

The centre field is a warm camel beige, and the slate blue appears mainly in the border and the palmettes.

Can I get a custom size?

Yes, custom sizes can be requested. Send us your dimensions and we will confirm price and timing.
