About the Item
73883 Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, 09'00 x 12'02. In the golden hush of Anatolian dawns, where the loom sang softly and fingers wove fables into wool, this hand-knotted antique Turkish Oushak rug was born. Wrought at the beginning of the 20th century, it whispers the aesthetic language of empire and eternity. Its expansive beige field acts as a neutral backdrop, allowing the vibrant reds, light saffron, and sky blues to unfurl like a spring garden blooming beneath a pale sun. The design flows with a masterful rhythm—neither rigid nor chaotic—but balanced and unhurried, echoing the meditative artistry of its maker.
An allover pattern sweeps across the field, rooted in stylized palmettes and large-scale lozenges, each outlined in crimson and crowned with stepped cross motifs—a potent nod to crossroads, harmony, and divine protection. Suspended in this visual symphony are peony blossoms, nestled in pale yellow medallions like jewels set in golden filigree, symbolizing renewal, abundance, and nobility. Radiating outward are deep red cusped gul medallions adorned with abstracted rosettes and encircled by hooked sky-blue tendrils that evoke ancient symbols of strength and far-reaching protection. These fantastical forms are neither flora nor fauna, but sacred glyphs from the Anatolian imagination—spirits in geometric form.
The field also features the Tree of Life motif, its trunk upright and symmetrical, its branches angular and stylized—an eternal axis bridging Earth and the divine. Between these sacred trees, diamond-shaped Goz (eye) motifs stand as sentinels, their angular gaze ever-vigilant, woven to shield the weaver’s world from malevolent forces. Angular vines connect abstract florals and botanical forms in a lattice that feels alive with sacred geometry, flowing like song lines across Anatolia’s timeless plains.
Enclosing this mystical landscape is a powerful border narrative. The main border pulses with blooming irises and lilies—symbols of purity, divine transition, and feminine strength—interwoven with serrated saz leaves, whose Ottoman lineage traces back to courtly design and garden paradise. These jagged-edged leaves meander like ancient river gods, lending kinetic energy to the stillness of the field. Flanking the central border, two distinct guard bands carry ancestral voices: one ripples with the running water motif, a metaphor for life’s continuity and cleansing; the other winds with a meandering rosette band, recalling the eternal cycle of growth, bloom, and rebirth. Together, they form a protective corridor that guides the viewer’s eye and spirit around this celestial woven garden.
Rendered in variegated shades of beige, sky blue, red, light yellow, light green, and mauve with other accent colors.
