About the Item
Exquisite 1940s Antique Turkish Oushak Rug
Size: 6'4" × 8'10" (193 × 269 cm)
This 1940s antique Turkish Oushak rug is a sublime example of Anatolian textile artistry, gracefully combining timeworn character with a soft, modern aesthetic. Hand-knotted with exceptional craftsmanship, the rug showcases a pale, sun-faded palette of wheat, bone, and ivory, subtly punctuated by delicate motifs in soft gray and taupe. The washed-out tones evoke a sense of quiet sophistication and timeless elegance, ideal for both classic and contemporary interiors.
The design reveals a complex yet restrained geometric and floral language—hallmarks of traditional Oushak weaving. Snowflake-like starburst rosettes and stylized floral elements gently populate the field, structured around a faintly discernible central medallion and bordered by a band of repeating botanical motifs. The overall layout is grounded in a sense of symmetry and serenity, rendered in a near-monochromatic scheme that speaks to the natural dyes and gentle aging process over time.
What sets this rug apart is its visibly distressed texture and patina, which do not detract but rather enrich its visual and tactile appeal. The low, nubby pile is supple underfoot and bears the marks of decades of graceful wear. Folded edges and areas of light abrash (color variation due to hand-dyeing) add to its authentic vintage charm.
The rug’s subdued coloration and refined motifs make it a versatile anchor piece—perfect for muted, minimalist settings, bohemian-luxe spaces, or rustic-chic environments. It retains the soul of old-world Anatolia while seamlessly integrating into 21st-century décor narratives.
This antique Turkish Oushak is more than a decorative element—it’s a legacy piece, offering both aesthetic beauty and historical significance.
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.
