The history of Oushak rugs dates back to the 15th and 16th centuries. During the Ottoman Empire, these carpets were highly valued across Europe and often appeared in palaces, churches, and wealthy households.
The Usak region became one of the most important centers for carpet production. Many rugs were created specifically for export to European markets, resulting in a style that combines traditional Anatolian motifs with larger ornaments and softer color schemes.
