Dark Plum & Gold Turkish Oushak Rug | 5x8 8x10 ft Hand-Knotted New Zealand Wool | Living Room Bedroom Rug

A stunning hand-knotted masterpiece in 100% pure New Zealand wool — this Dark Plum & Gold Oushak area rug commands attention the moment it enters a room, with its rich aubergine field ablaze with ivory botanical florals, a radiant gold-amber border, and a classical medallion that draws the eye to the centre in pure elegance.

Why This Rug Works in Your Room

• Drama without darkness: The deep plum field creates a bold, sophisticated focal point that makes surrounding furniture and decor pop — especially effective against light oak or cream-coloured interiors.
• Timeless medallion pattern: A classical tree-of-life centre medallion branching into delicate ivory floral sprays gives this rug an heirloom quality that transcends passing trends.
• Gold border anchors the space: The warm amber-gold border acts as a natural frame, visually defining your seating area or dining zone without the need for additional décor work.

Perfect For Every Room

In a living room, the 8x10 or 9x12 ft size anchors your sofa and armchairs in a rich conversation cluster. In a bedroom, the 5x8 or 6x9 ft size extends beautifully beneath a king or queen bed, adding warmth underfoot each morning. In a dining room, the 10x14 ft size comfortably seats a 10-person table in grandeur. For entryways, the 2x3 or 3x5 ft sizes make a powerful first impression. This rug's rich colouring also makes it ideal for home offices, libraries, and formal sitting rooms.

Handmade Craftsmanship

Every knot in this rug is tied by hand by master weavers in Bhadohi-Mirzapur, India's most revered rug-weaving region. The process spans approximately 45 days and 10 stages — from hand-carding the 100% pure New Zealand wool, to hand-spinning the yarn, to tying each individual knot on the loom, to hand-washing and sun-drying the finished piece. The result is a rug knotted at 90–100 KPSI (knots per square inch), giving it exceptional depth, a lush pile that stands up over decades, and the natural abrash (tonal variation) that is the hallmark of a genuine hand-knotted creation. There is no backing — the weave itself is the structure — and the fringe is an integrated extension of the foundation warp, not glued on.

Where to Put It

Place the 8x10 ft size in a living room with the front legs of your sofa and chairs resting on the rug for a grounded, cohesive look. In a master bedroom, centre the 6x9 ft size under a king bed, leaving equal margins on each side. The dramatic plum-and-gold palette pairs exceptionally well with walnut furniture, brass fixtures, velvet sofas in emerald or mustard, and off-white or charcoal walls.

Care

Rotate the rug 180° every 6–12 months for even wear. Vacuum gently on low suction without a beater bar. For spills, blot immediately with a clean dry cloth — do not rub. Professional hand-washing is recommended every 2–3 years. This rug will improve with age and gentle care.

FAQs

Q: What size should I order for an 8-seat dining table?
A: We recommend the 10x14 ft size for an 8-seat dining table — this allows the rug to extend at least 24 inches beyond each end of the table so chairs remain on the rug even when pulled out. For a 6-seat table, the 9x12 ft is ideal.

Q: Is this rug truly 100% pure New Zealand wool and fully hand-knotted?
A: Absolutely. Every fibre in this rug is 100% pure New Zealand wool — no blends, no synthetics, no other fibres of any kind. And yes, every single knot is tied by hand on a traditional loom; this rug is never machine-made, printed, tufted, or loomed.

Q: How long will delivery take?
A: In-stock sizes ship within 3–5 business days. Custom sizes typically take 45–60 days to produce. We offer free worldwide shipping on all orders.
