Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug with Tribal Style
Located in Dallas, TX
53225 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug with Tribal Style 06'03 x 09'07. Steeped in the timeless mystique of Anatolian storytelling, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug is more than a rare textile—it is a luminous manuscript of sacred symbols, ancestral wisdom, and human longing. Set against a neutral beige field softened by age and imbued with the warmth of earthen hues, this exquisite work of art unfolds like a celestial map: a large-scale concentric medallion radiates outward into corner spandrels, each element meticulously adorned with the sacred language of tribal iconography. From the commanding presence of the signature Ram’s Horns—emblems of power and masculinity—to the curving grace of precious Elibelinde figures, this extraordinary masterpiece reveals a woven tale of harmony, fertility, and protection that has transcended centuries. Every motif within this majestic carpet has been chosen with intention, forming a visual chorus of Anatolia’s deepest values. The fertility pattern, composed of dual Elibelinde and Ram’s Horn motifs joined by an eye-shaped amulet, forms the heart of the rug—an invocation for family unity, safeguarded by symbols of continuity like the Fetter and Hair Band. Other woven declarations include the Earrings and Comb motifs—silent yet profound messages of a woman’s desire for love, marriage, and protection against misfortune. These designs are not mere embellishments; they are ancient vows encoded in wool, symbols of womanhood, devotion, and the enduring spirit of Anatolian woman weavers. Guarding this sacred composition, the rectangular end-caps at either end introduce an ornamental order through repeating quatrefoils and a delicate trail of triple diamonds. The entire piece is enclosed by a resplendent Ram’s Horn border—suggesting virility and sacred guardianship—flanked by inner and outer stylized floral guard bands and jagged sawtooth outlines that symbolically shield the soul of the rug. Among the rare and esoteric symbols embedded in the field, one discovers dragons guarding treasure, wolves’ mouths fending off darkness, and the Tree of Life promising renewal and immortality.
