Antique Oushak Carpet, Handmade Turkish Oriental Rug, Beige, Taupe, Soft Yellow

About the Item

This exquisite late 19th-century Oushak carpet, crafted in West Anatolia around 1890, showcases the rich tradition and artistry of Turkish weaving during the period. The carpet is characterized by its allover design, which is elegantly spread across the ivory ground, allowing the delicate patterns to bloom across the surface. The palette is composed of soft, muted tones, including the pale yellow border that gracefully frames the central field. The overall color scheme is harmonious, with subtle contrasts that lend the piece a refined and sophisticated appearance. The design is typically Oushak in style, featuring intricate geometric and floral motifs that are rendered in a restrained, yet highly decorative manner. The motifs are often inspired by nature, but with a stylized approach that reflects the fusion of Ottoman aesthetic principles and regional weaving traditions. The soft yellow border adds a gentle, warm touch, complementing the ivory field and enhancing the visual flow of the composition. The pile of this carpet is even and low, indicative of a well-maintained piece that has stood the test of time. The wool used in the weaving is of high quality, contributing to the softness of the texture and ensuring durability. The low pile also suggests that the carpet was likely used in an area with moderate foot traffic, allowing it to retain its beauty while being practical for everyday use. Oushak carpets, or Ushak carpets, are renowned for their history and craftsmanship. Originating from the town of Oushak (modern-day Usak) in Western Anatolia, these carpets were produced in the region since the 15th century and became highly sought after in the West by the 19th century. The designs of Oushak carpets often featured large-scale patterns, with softer colors that contrasted with the more vibrant hues used in other Turkish and Persian carpet traditions. These carpets were particularly popular among European aristocracy and collectors, who admired their high quality and understated elegance. This particular piece, dating back to circa 1890, exemplifies the late 19th-century transition in Oushak weaving, where traditional designs began to evolve and merge with new trends in European taste. The quality of the wool, the precision of the knotting, and the beauty of the allover design make this carpet a fine example of the exceptional artistry of its time. Carpet Measures: 10'4"x12'5"
