About the Item

This 12x15 antique Oushak rug represents both one of the most exceptional finds of its provenance and a particularly rare influence of the Art Deco period in its design—a special, truly one-of-a-kind piece capturing the period, made with a lustrous hand-knotted wool in Turkey circa 1920-1930. On the Design: This Jazz-Age Oushak rug is also a rare work of minimalist sensibility in its play of medallion and open field design—the latter of which admirers of the craft will know is such a distinct choice in the history of weaving, and one seldom seen in these regal, warm colors and period-piece sensibilitys. The open field underscores an implied border of six outer scrolls, with pale yellow and mauve tones also seen in the central diamond-shaped medallion, which lend a beautifully subtle element of depth and dimension compared to the warm gold undertone of the piece. A keen eye will immediately note the architectural details of the patterns, which further speak to this as a true Deco Oushak made for the French market. One can't help but admire the fine balance of quiet elegance in this piece, as it enjoys all the gravity of a medallion design with colors and subtleties evoking a more quiet sophistication and feminine beauty Oushaks are known for in their unexpected designs. Altogether it's an unexpected find among the most unexpected of its kind; both atypical, yet exemplary and intentional, a masterpiece and collectible of a spacious, versatile large size with vast design applications. Its wool further enjoys an almost silky sheen to it, both complemented its golden colorway and lending a fabulous play of the light in any space. Condition: This antique Oushak rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, with only mild elements of wear consistent with its age; another exceptional trait of its kind.
