About the Item
This exquisite late 19th century Angora Oushak carpet, dating from around 1880, showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of Turkish weaving traditions during the period. The carpet features a soft, serene light blue/green background, which gracefully enhances the warmth of its intricate design. The central motif is an allover pattern dominated by large, elegant palmettes, a classic and timeless element in Turkish carpets. These palmettes are delicately arranged, flowing harmoniously across the field and showcasing the masterful use of symmetry and proportion. The rich shrimp-colored border frames the design beautifully, providing a striking contrast to the lighter tones of the background.
Angora Oushak carpets are renowned for their fine wool, plush texture, and brilliant color combinations. This particular piece exemplifies the luxurious quality that the Oushak region is celebrated for. The unique coloration of light blue/green is a testament to the refined natural dyes used during the late 19th century, offering a more subtle and serene palette compared to the deeper, bolder tones often seen in other carpets from the same era. The interplay of the palmettes and the shrimp-colored border enhances the overall aesthetic, drawing the eye to the fine detail and craftsmanship of this antique piece.
The history of Angora Oushak carpets traces back to the 16th century in Oushak (Uşak), a town in western Anatolia, Turkey, known for its long-standing tradition of carpet weaving. The region became one of the most prominent centers for the production of high-quality carpets, prized by both the Ottoman Empire and international markets. Oushak carpets have always been associated with luxury, and the Angora variety, which derives its name from the capital of the Turkish region of Ankara, is particularly sought after for its softness, sheen, and intricate designs. The demand for these carpets reached a peak in the late 19th century, as European and American collectors coveted them for their elegance and historical significance.
This Antique Angora Oushak carpet not only represents the exceptional skill of Turkish weavers but also serves as a beautiful reflection of the rich cultural heritage and timeless beauty that has made Oushak carpets a revered collectible for centuries.
