About the Item

54001 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 04'06 x 08'06. Woven in the quiet highlands of Western Anatolia, this hand knotted wool precious vintage Turkish Oushak rug tells a timeless story of life, lineage, and protection through the language of symbol and thread. At the heart of the captivating composition lies a stepped medallion, its geometric edges festooned with a garland of blooming palmettes that speak of prosperity and rebirth. Within this mesmerizing medallion pulses a Bereket motif—the ancient fertility symbol composed of "elibelinde" (hands-on-hips) forms representing women and ram’s horn motifs denoting men. At the center, an all-seeing signature Goz "eye" gazes outward, cast in weave as a talisman of protection to guard the harmony of the family against the envy of fate. Exquisite trefoil pendants and delicate floral bouquets anchor the medallion at either end, grounding its ethereal elegance in botanical abundance. This extraordinary central medallion floats within an open dark pink field, whose saturated tone has mellowed through time into a rich antique blush. The majestic open space amplifies the visual gravity of the medallion and invites the surrounding elements to blossom with clarity. Mushroom-hued corner spandrels bloom with lotus blossoms and lilies—symbols of purity and renewal—while iconic Ram’s Horn motifs and tribal emblems embedded in their forms channel strength and ancestral wisdom. From each corner, rectilinear florals stretch like reaching vines, their angular stems breaking into the field like the first growth of spring through thawed earth. The exceptional rectangular endcaps offer their own story within this poetic tableau. Set against a rosewood ground, they are adorned with tulips—emblems of divine love—boteh motifs echoing the eternal flame, and burdock forms once believed to dispel misfortune. These whimsical botanical guardians infuse this magnificent work of art with both ornamental beauty and folkloric power, connecting the weaver’s hands to generations of symbolic inheritance. Together, these end elements serve as bookends to the central medallion, enclosing the composition like the covers of a cherished manuscript. Framing this visual narrative is a floral border of dual carnations and serrated leaves, winding across an earthy brown backdrop with rhythmic grace. Each carnation whispers of affection and admiration, while the serrated leaves hint at resilience and growth through hardship. This exclusive main border is gently flanked by inner and outer feminine carnation meander guard bands rendered on a soft mushroom-toned ground—protective traces that echo the central Bereket’s theme of unity, love, and safeguarding. This enduring vintage Turkish Oushak rug, both restrained and radiant, is a vessel of encoded blessings—an Anatolian inheritance rendered in wool, still blooming centuries on. Abrash. Antique Wash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 04'06 x 08'06. Pile Height: 0.19 of an inch. Date: 1960's. Mid-20th Century.
