Tessa 9x11.10 Green Hand-Knotted Whitewashed Afghani Oushak Rug

Green is one of the rarest and most distinctive colorways in the Oushak tradition — and the Tessa makes it immediately covetable. Hand-knotted in Afghanistan using 100% wool and natural vegetable dyes, this large-format rug combines the timeless geometric character of the centuries-old Usak, Turkey heritage with a whitewashed finish that softens the green into a faded, sage-like tone that feels both ancient and entirely contemporary.

At 9x11.10, the Tessa is a true room-anchor — generous enough to ground a large living room seating arrangement or define a spacious primary bedroom with presence and restraint.

✦ Why We Chose This

Green Oushaks are genuinely hard to source — natural vegetable-dyed greens require skilled dye work and age beautifully in ways that synthetic alternatives simply cannot replicate. The whitewashing process on the Tessa adds another layer of craft: it lifts the surface color into a chalky, muted register that reads as sophisticated rather than bold, making it far easier to style across a wide range of interior palettes — from warm terracotta and wood tones to cooler stone and linen environments. For a client who wants something truly rare in a large format, the Tessa is an exceptional find.
