About the Item

Exquisite 1880s Antique Turkish Oushak Rug in Soft Apricot and Sand Tones Size: 12'6" × 14'2" (381 × 431 cm) Steeped in centuries-old tradition and unmistakable artisanal craftsmanship, this 19th-century Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1880, is a quintessential representation of Anatolia’s renowned weaving heritage. Hand-knotted in high-quality wool, the piece presents a harmonious blend of scale, color, and sophisticated design. This rare square-format Oushak showcases a grand, oversized medallion motif in the center, delicately nested within a diamond-shaped contour that creates a framing effect unique to this rug. The structure evokes a regal, almost architectural presence. This central element is surrounded by a restrained field that echoes symmetrical botanical and geometric forms, blending classical Oushak motifs with a nearly modern sense of negative space. The color palette is one of the rug's most distinguished qualities. Faded apricot, dusty coral, and pale sand wash gently across the surface, giving the rug a luminous and time-softened appearance. These subtle hues are expertly balanced by hints of muted rose and parchment, all contributing to a serene and aged patina that reflects over a century of gentle wear. The border carries a complementary narrative with angular floral motifs and protective emblems rendered in slightly deeper tones. Woven with relatively large knots in keeping with Oushak tradition, the rug’s pile is supple yet substantial, adding texture and depth to the already visually compelling composition. This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
