Ushak Rugs, Ushak Carpets

Ushak is a town in west central Anatolia (modern Turkey). Rugs have been woven here since the fifteenth century. The earliest Turkish prayer rugs are attributed to Ushak in the sixteenth century. Ushak is most famous for its 16th century star, medallion and prayer rug designs.

Rugs from the Ushak region have wool pile on wool foundation. Most Ushaks have the medallion design or the all over pattern design. Fine Ushaks with attractive designs and good color combinations are very sought after for their decorative qualities.
