About the Item

50129 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 03'05 x 06'09. Steeped in Anatolian heritage, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug is a resplendent display of traditional artistry and tribal symbolism. Its rich brick-red field serves as a bold canvas for the mesmerizing interplay of intricate floral motifs and angular geometry, embodying the poetic elegance that defines Oushak weaving traditions. A luminous central medallion unfolds like an ornate blossom, its detailed symmetry reflecting the delicate balance between nature and craftsmanship, a motif often seen in the grand palaces of the Ottoman Empire. Framing this exquisite medallion, the captivating composition draws the eye towards the stepped, arching spandrels in warm golden saffron, creating a dynamic contrast against the deep red field. These luminous spandrels, adorned with stylized rosettes and geometric motifs, enhance the depth and drama of the composition. Such a design speaks to the enduring spiritual and symbolic nature of Turkish weaving, where rugs were not merely decorative but woven with intent—representing prosperity, divine protection, and cultural identity. The whimsical border, an intricate dance of angular vines, tribal glyphs, and repeating s-hook motifs, brings an added layer of depth and movement. The hooked motif, a timeless symbol of protection and strength, has graced Anatolian textiles for centuries, acting as a ward against the evil eye. Framed within soft celadon and sandy beige hues, the border offers a delicate balance between the rug’s vibrant warmth and its more subdued, grounding tones. This vintage Turkish Oushak rug is a testament to the enduring beauty of Anatolian craftsmanship, where color, pattern, and symbolism converge to create a piece that transcends time. Whether anchoring a cozy retreat, adding warmth to a minimalist space, or enhancing a collected bohemian interior, this rug whispers of generations past while remaining effortlessly relevant in the present. A true treasure of Turkish weaving, it invites both admiration and appreciation with every glance. Rendered in variegated shades of brick red, rust, baked clay, clay pot, brass, rose, gold, saffron, tan, ecru, sand, light gray, persimmon, and pumpkin with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 03'05 x 06'09. Date: 1940's. Mid-20th Century.
