1950's Turkish Oushak Carpet with Modern Tribal Style
About the Item
51213 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 04'02 x 06'02. This hand knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug radiates the bold energy and spiritual symbolism of Anatolia’s enduring tribal heritage. Its design is anchored by a prominent hooked hexagonal central medallion—patterned with a radiant star nested in a checkerboard lattice, symbolizing cosmic order within the terrestrial plane. Surrounding this astral center, X-shaped forms enclosed in square compartments punctuate the medallion like protective glyphs, while Goz motifs—watchful “eye” symbols—ward off evil with their timeless, talismanic gaze. Each knot breathes ancient meaning, the medallion a metaphysical compass encircled by ancestral memory.
At either end of the main medallion rest flanking triangle forms, their hooked outlines echoing the central geometry. These triangular medallions shelter yin-yang lozenges at their hearts, a symbol of duality and unity—the dance between light and shadow, masculine and feminine, terrestrial and divine. These sacred diamonds are surrounded by a constellation of esoteric tribal motifs, including protective emblems whose abstract beauty belies their deep-rooted symbolism. Here, spiritual guardianship is not hidden in borders, but proudly displayed at the core of the rug’s visual narrative, a woven invocation of balance, fertility, and survival.
The field—rendered in a warm brick red—hosts a festival of ancestral forms. Ivory guls adorned with eight-pointed stars bring celestial resonance to the composition, while curling Bereket motifs speak of fertility and life’s generative power. Ram’s Horns lend their enduring strength and masculinity to the ensemble, while Elibelinde, the age-old Anatolian symbol of motherhood, plants the field with feminine grace and abundance. These motifs do not simply decorate; they form a code—a folkloric language passed from weaver to loom, from loom to legacy, transmitting the pulse of a people in wool.
Framing this composition is a robust Bergama-style border, its wide band dancing with serrated leaves interlocked by rectangular checkered segments—symbols of continuity and transition. Set on the same brick red ground as the interior, the border offers both containment and expansion, the repeating rhythm mirroring the cycles of nature and tradition. Inner and outer barber pole guard bands twist along the rug’s edges like binding chants, sealing the composition in a rhythmic spell of protection and harmony. In hues of brick red, ivory, golden saffron, muted pistachio, faded blue, and soft brown, this Oushak rug offers not just a visual experience but a tactile manuscript of tribal wisdom—woven for the eye, the hand, and the spirit.
