About the Item

52765 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 04'01 x 06'02. Steeped in Anatolian tradition, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug tells a story of artistry, symbolism, and the enduring spirit of nomadic craftsmanship. With a muted yet earthy palette of nature-inspired hues, this Oushak rug exudes a timeworn elegance that speaks to the heart of Turkish weaving heritage. The softly abrashed field, rich in cultural motifs, reflects the natural dyes and hand-spun wool that have been lovingly aged over time, enhancing its warmth and authenticity. At its center lies a striking cusped medallion, an enduring symbol of protection and harmony, surrounded by an intricate geometric frame. The bold architectural lines evoke the influence of ancient Anatolian design, where spiritual and structural elements intertwine. Stylized ram’s horn motifs, scarab figures, and angular floral elements emerge throughout, each carrying deep-rooted meanings of strength, longevity, and prosperity. The distinctive stepped mihrab-like arch at either end suggests influences from prayer rugs, further enhancing its spiritual and cultural resonance. Encasing the composition, the wide border unfolds like a visual narrative, adorned with dramatic tribal symbols and angular floral motifs. The abstract, almost calligraphic representations of birds—possibly symbolic of guidance and freedom—are a captivating feature, adding an expressive, almost mystical quality to the Oushak rug. The juxtaposition of the faded verdigris tones against the earthy camel and dark coffee hues creates a mesmerizing depth, making this piece feel both grounding and ethereal. A true testament to the legacy of Turkish weaving, this vintage Oushak rug embodies a balance between bold tribal expression and refined elegance. Whether displayed in a contemporary or traditional setting, it carries an undeniable aura of history and artistry. Its softened, timeworn hues and evocative motifs transform any space into a sanctuary of heritage, warmth, and timeless beauty. Rendered in variegated shades of tan, ecru, taupe, sand, gold, emerald, robin's egg blue, verdigris, cerulean, coffee, and camel with other accent colors. Abrash. Antique Wash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 04'01 x 06'02. Date: 1940's. Mid-20th Century.
