Originating from Spain between 1880-1900, this antique traditional Oushak rug is hand knotted in a low pile hemp wool featuring rich and varied colorways. The medallion style field design, set against a beige background with highlights of rustic orange and green-blue, is wrapped by a series of lesser-employed ram’s horn motifs symbolizing strength and fertility, joined by iris symbols of religious liberty and geometric leaves signifying endless regeneration; likely signifying this piece as promoting a healthy family on the cusp of birth.
