Antique Turkish Oushak Rug. Size: 9 ft 4 in x 11 ft 8 in

About the Item

Antique room size Turkish Oushak rug, country of origin: Turkey, circa 1900. Size: 9 ft 4 in x 11 ft 8 in (2.84 m x 3.56 m) This gorgeous antique Turkish Oushak rug has a distinguished old-world feel, and yet a tribal charm. This beautiful rug was produced around 1900 and is over 100 years old. Oushak is a small town located in West central Anatolia that is located just south of modern day Istanbul, Turkey. Antique rugs from Oushak are distinguished in the world of Oriental carpets for several reasons. Oushak was a major center for the production of Turkish rugs at the beginning of the Ottoman Empire. In the late 15th century, the town was located close to a major wool production center, and the weavers had access to large quantities of natural dyes. The carpets from the area tend to be coarser than those produced in other areas of the Turkish and Persian empires. They were typically a wool warp, weft and pile. They are distinguished in their pattern and the range of colors that are used. One will often see a broader variety of colors, including tans, greens and background colors that differed from the typical red and blue backgrounds found in other areas of the world. This range of colors is one of the distinguishing characteristics that make antique Turkish Oushak rugs a beautiful addition to any formal room. The design of this extremely decorative rug is based on a central point, but instead of a formal restricting central medallion, the center only contains a single central motif. However, the treatment of the other motifs around it suggests a central medallion design, that one might expect in this type of carpet. You may also notice that the motifs in the field are not interconnected, but each one stands alone. The beautiful use of color in this Turkish Oushak carpet is subdued, and the design is simple, using only a few well-placed motifs. It is a simple, tribal design that shows excellent skill and attention to design detail. It has a natural, tribal feel that makes it stand out as a unique piece. It is versatile and would complement a traditional or contemporary design.

  • Antique Turkish Oushak Rug 8'8 x 11'6
    Located in New York, NY
    Antique Turkish Oushak Rug 8'8 x 11'6. Oushak's are known for their soft palettes combined with eccentric drawing. Oushak in western Turkey has the longest continuous rug weaving history, stretching back at least to the mid-fifteenth century. It has always been oriented commercially, supplying rugs and carpets, from scatters up to enormous mansion sizes, to both the Turkish/Ottoman domestic markets and to exports into Britain, and America. The best-known family portrait of George Washington has an Oushak beneath the Founder and his family. Doesn’t get more esteemed than that. Of course, the carpets have constantly changed as tastes, trends, styles, and markets evolved. In the late 19th/early 20th centuries, Persian or Persianate patterns were adopted, and dimensions mutated into Western room sizes. From the early years of the Ottoman Empire to the end of the 13th century, Oushak became an important center of Turkish carpet production. All this changed after the mid-nineteenth century, when Oushak became a major manufacturing center again due to the extensive revival of Turkish and Persian Oriental carpet production. The large and growing middle class in Europe and the United States suddenly created a new demand for oriental antique carpets, and like many other historic carpet manufacturing centers today, Oushak has rapidly developed to meet this demand. At the end of the 19th century, the production of Oriental carpets resumed, during which time Oushak once again became an outstanding center of the textile industry. This center is credited with many of the great masterpieces of early Turkish carpet weaving from the 15th to 17th centuries. Oushak was one of the largest cities in Anatolia and became one of the central carpet weaving centers from the 15th to the 20th century. The luxurious quality of the wool (for which Oushak's have always been famous) contributed to the vibrancy of the colors. Unlike most Turkish rugs, Oushak rugs were heavily influenced by Persian design. Many depictions of ancient oriental carpets in old western paintings appear to be styles designed and woven in Oushak. Many people look at Oushak rugs for their history and ancient value, but even in today's world of carpet weaving, there are countless Oushak rugs that truly convey the original aesthetic and sense of timeless ancient design. You will fall in love with our Oushak rugs, featuring bold floral designs and many other antique details. Originating in the city of Oushak in central western Anatolia, Turkish Oushak rugs display a mesmerizing Persian influence, making them one of the most popular types of antique rugs...
