1950's Pastel Turkish Oushak Carpet with Modern Style

About the Item

53992 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 05'10 x 09'01. Woven in the ancestral heartland of Anatolia, this hand knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug reveals a quiet strength and a sacred geometry drawn from centuries of cultural memory. At its center, a commanding eight-point medallion unfurls like a compass of destiny, outlined with hooked edges and anchored by trefoil pendants that mirror the cosmic balance of earth and sky. Within this prominent center medallion, a cross motif anchors the space—its axis surrounded by Ram’s Horn symbols representing virility, heroism, and the enduring power of lineage. These motifs are counterbalanced by Elibelinde figures—stylized women with hands on hips—honoring motherhood, feminine energy, and fertility. Together, they form a woven prayer for life’s dual generative forces to remain in sacred union. The magnificent open light blue field surrounding the medallion breathes like a tranquil sky after rain, a vast canvas of serenity that cradles the inner glyphs with contemplative spaciousness. This open expanse is framed by corner spandrels in a soft beige hue, each adorned with a symbolic menagerie: scarab motifs for rebirth, Elibelinde figures for the maternal lineage, and the Bereket pattern—a pairing of Ram’s Horns and Elibelinde shapes flanking a protective “eye” to shield the family from misfortune. In this arrangement, the weaver’s loom becomes not only a vessel for art, but a spiritual altar—each line and curl spun with a protective grace meant to echo across generations. Surrounding this internal sanctuary is a Bergama border, a rhythmic pathway of tribal design linking this precious one-of-a-kind masterpiece to the storied weaving traditions of Western Anatolia. Its bold motifs strike a balance between strength and ornament, history and abstraction. Framing the whole composition is an inner meander guard band composed of Çengel hooks—barbed symbols of deflection and resistance, long believed to ward off the evil eye. These subtle protections are seamlessly woven into the very structure of the piece, making the Oushak rug not just beautiful, but also talismanic. Softened by time, yet steady in symbolism, this exquisite woven wonder stands as a visual testament to the Anatolian tradition of encoding meaning into every thread. Its palette—gentle blues, warm beiges, earthy reds, and dusty rose—feels both ancient and modern, perfectly suited for interiors that embrace timeless depth. More than a floor covering, it is a map of human hope, resilience, and reverence—an heirloom of the soul and a living archive of cultural belief. Abrash. Antique Wash. Hand knotted wool.
