Selene Modair Oushak Red Hand Knotted Rug

Red in an Oushak format reads differently than red in a geometric or abstract rug — the flowing traditional design softens the color, making it feel formal and considered rather than bold. The Selene Mohair Oushak in Red is hand knotted at 9'3 x 12'3, a scale suited to large dining rooms and formal living spaces where the rug is the room's anchor. The red tones sit on the deeper end of the spectrum — burgundy-adjacent — which reads well beneath dark or natural wood furniture.

The mohair content gives the pile a characteristic sheen that plain wool rugs don't achieve — subtle and natural, increasingly apparent as the pile wears in over years. Traditional Oushak patterns at this scale typically feature medallion or all-over field designs with open negative space that keeps the red from feeling heavy or dense.

Rotate annually and have it professionally cleaned every three to five years to maintain the pile's depth and luster.

Act quickly on spills by dabbing with a clean, dry cloth. For persistent stains, gently blot using a mild soap solution, then let the rug dry flat.

Use a handheld vacuum regularly, choosing the lowest power setting and avoiding the beater bar.

Initial fiber shedding is normal and will decrease with consistent vacuuming. Expect more shedding in the first few months.

When necessary, seek professional rug cleaning services.

Enhance safety and longevity by using a rug pad. This prevents slipping and protects both your rug and floor from damage.
