Olive Green Rust Oushak Rug 5x8 8x10 | Hand-Knotted NZ Wool

A deep olive-green field framed by a wide, sun-warmed rust border — this Turkish Oushak rug is hand-knotted in 100% pure New Zealand wool, with every single knot tied by hand, for a calm, earthy look that grounds any room.

Why This Rug Works in Your Room

Earthy two-tone palette: Rich olive green and brick-rust pair beautifully with wood floors, leather sofas, terracotta pots and natural linen.
Quiet tribal detail: Coral diamond medallions and tiny tree-of-life sprigs trace a dotted inner frame, adding pattern without visual clutter.
Soft abrash depth: Natural tonal variation across the green field gives a vintage, lived-in character that hides everyday wear.

Perfect For Every Room

Living rooms: 8x10 or 9x12 anchors a full seating group. Bedrooms: 5x8 or 6x9 sits beautifully under the lower two-thirds of a queen or king bed. Dining rooms: 10x14 lets chairs slide out while staying on the rug. Entryways: 2x3 or 3x5 makes a warm first impression. Need a hallway or kitchen piece? Choose a 2.5x10, 3x9 or 3x15 runner size.

Handmade Craftsmanship

Each rug is 100% handmade and hand-knotted by master weavers in the Bhadohi-Mirzapur rug belt of India. Every single knot is tied by hand — around 45 days of work passing through 10 stages, from wool sorting and hand-spinning to dyeing, knotting, washing, clipping and finishing. We use only 100% pure New Zealand wool, prized for its long staple, natural lanolin and lasting softness. At 90-100 KPSI (knots per square inch), the weave is dense and durable. There is no glued backing — the knots are the structure — and the fringe is integrated, made from the rug's own foundation warps. Gentle abrash (natural colour variation from hand-dyed wool) is a hallmark of genuine hand-knotted work.

Care

Vacuum regularly without the beater bar. Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth — never rub. Rotate every 6 months for even wear. Professional rug cleaning is recommended every 1-2 years. Use a rug pad to protect floors and extend the rug's life.

FAQs

What size should I get for my living room?
For a sofa and two chairs, an 8x10 (for rooms around 12x14 ft) or a 9x12 (for rooms 14x16 ft and larger) lets front legs rest on the rug. For a bedroom, a 5x8 or 6x9 works under a queen bed.

Is this rug really 100% wool and hand-knotted?
Yes. It is made from 100% pure New Zealand wool and is fully hand-knotted — every single knot is tied by hand by skilled artisans on a traditional loom.
