Authentic Looms offers a wide variety of rugs and carpets from various countries at different price points.

The majority of collections consist of handmade rugs from new, semi-antique and antique pieces with traditional, transitional, modern and contemporary designs. In addition to handmade carpets and rugs, we offer a large selection of flat woven kilims, needle points, kilim pillows and accessories, as well as hand-tufted and machine made area rugs.

The patchwork kilim and rug collection is made by collecting new and old kilims or handmade rugs, and patching them together by an artist to form their new and desirable look.

Many different looks are available from muted older kilims to brighter lively colors, geometrical styles to more modern arrangements. This collection can be ordered in custom sizes, colors, and styles.

Oushak (also known as Ushak or Usak) in western Turkey has been a major center of rug production almost from the very beginning of the Ottoman period. Many of the great masterpieces of early Turkish carpet weaving from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries have been attributed to Oushak.

Oushak rugs are desirable today as highly decorative pieces. They come in central medallion designs as well as patterns of smaller allover medallions or scattered sprays of vine-scroll and palmettes. They are notable for the grand, monumental scale of the designs. Oushak carpets often have a subdued palette in soft apricot and golden saffron tones whose pleasing qualities are enhanced by their particularly soft and lustrous wool.
