1970's Turkish Oushak Rug with Traditional Style

About the Item

51383 Vintage Turkish Oushak Gallery Rug, 05'03 x 12'00. Crimson as Anatolia’s pomegranate harvest and steeped in the fire of memory, this hand-knotted wool Turkish Oushak rug bears the date 1977 and the initials KK, forever anchoring it to a singular weaver and moment in time. The saturated red field—bold, enduring, and unapologetically rich—serves as a canvas for three monumental medallions, each a snow-crowned emblem of protection and symmetry. These octagonal motifs, rimmed in slate gray and tranquil tan hues, mirror one another like the echoes of ancestral chants, cascading down the field in solemn procession. In their geometric poetry, one senses the dual forces of structure and spirit, ancient and personal, converging in woven harmony. The topmost medallion, just beneath the woven inscription, feels like an offering—a dedication from the artisan to time itself. The initials KK suggest authorship, perhaps even quiet pride; the date 1977 marks not just the year of its making, but the Oushak rug’s place in the continuum of Anatolian tradition. The border, with its subtle rosettes, delicate vines, and stepped architectural flourishes, serves not as mere ornamentation but as a ceremonial threshold. It frames the fiery field with earth-toned grace, guiding the eye inward and grounding the composition in balance and restraint. Rendered in natural wool dyed from plant, earth, and sky, the palette softens in places with age and abrash, as if time itself had gently brushed its fingers across the pile. This Turkish rug is of the Oushak lineage—known for its bold design language and open, regal layouts—but it is also unmistakably individual. The craftsmanship reflects both tribal sensibility and refined skill, marrying rustic honesty with artistic ambition. Woven knots whisper of village rhythms, family hands, and the loom as a sacred space of creation. Today, this vintage Turkish Oushak rug stands as a radiant artifact of mid-20th century Anatolia—neither ancient relic nor modern mimic, but something soulful and sincere. Its presence elevates a room, not just through color and design, but through the story it carries in wool and time. It presides gently, a living thread between past and present, bearing the initials of its maker and the year of its quiet emergence into the world. Signed KK and dated 1977. Rendered in a refined palette of warm and rich colors: red, gray, beige, tan, taupe and charcoal with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 05'03 x 12'00. Date: 1970's. Late 20th Century.
