They may be some of the most beautiful rugs in the world. Thank you for all the history and information about the Oushak weaving and rug making history. My wife and I have a collection of five beautiful Oushak rugs we enjoy and regard as the highest of artistic merit and appeal. It is our opinion that the soft pale homogeneous colors make these rugs work much better with our western traditional or modern furnishings than do the strong colors of tradional Persian and other Asian rugs. For the same reason the last 19th Century pastel Indian Pandecamaron (sp) rugs did well in Western decorating but they seem to have gone out of business. We also like the exquisit artistry of the Oushak designs and the "glowing" look overall. The Oushaks in your collection seem like they should all be in a museum of civilization's finest arts.
