About the Item

52488 Vintage Earth-Tone Turkish Oushak Rug, 07'00 x 12'00. Woven in the storied highlands of Anatolia, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug offers an experience of poetic refinement and heritage luxury—an exquisite artifact for the discerning collector or connoisseur of understated opulence. Radiating with the subdued glow of an antique wash, its softened palette whispers of warm taupe, time-washed beige, and celadon mist, each hue mellowed to perfection by the passage of decades. At its heart rests a majestic stepped medallion crowned by trefoil pendants, anchored in botanical symbolism and artistic grace. These details aren’t merely ornamental—they are emblems of a lineage where storytelling, ritual, and aesthetic discipline intertwine. The exceptional rug’s abrashed field, rendered in earthy brown tones, serves as an elegant canvas of serenity—an expansive negative space that allows each motif to stand in quiet conversation with the next. Angular corner spandrels host stylized vines and palmettes, softened by age yet bold in their historic resonance. This juxtaposition of crisp geometry and organic motion is the visual language of Oushak artistry: a delicate balance between form and spirit. The weaver’s hand, now softened by time, still echoes with an intent to honor nature through structure and soul. Further enriching this exquisite work of art is the presence of architectural endcaps along the shorter edges—each filled with ancient ziggurat forms, a symbolic gesture to the cradle of civilization and its enduring influence on Anatolian design. The botanical border frames the composition with a lyrical elegance, where stylized diamonds and floral sprigs appear to grow like tendrils along the edge of a parchment. Flanking this primary border are dual carnation meander guard bands, a timeless flourish that elevates the piece from a utilitarian textile to a ceremonial relic. Every line, curve, and motif serves not only as decoration but as a cultural manuscript woven in wool. This is not merely a vintage Oushak rug—it is a testament to ethical luxury, cultural preservation, and aesthetic discernment. Its rarity lies in its authenticity, its story, and its gentle transformation through time. Ideal for refined interiors—from contemporary sanctuaries to classically inspired salons—it invites presence, conversation, and reverence. In a world of fleeting design trends, this piece offers the timeless assurance of legacy. To own it is to possess not just a rug, but a soulful heirloom steeped in history and handwoven with meaning. Rendered in variegated shades of tan, taupe, khaki, brown, and celadon and other neutral colors. Antique Wash. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 07'00 x 12'00. Pile Height: 0.14 of an inch. Date: 1940's. Mid-20th Century.
