About the Item
Antique Turkish Oushak Rug
Size: 14'10" × 17'3" (452 × 525 cm)
Evoking the grandeur of Anatolia’s weaving legacy, this monumental antique Oushak rug from the early 20th century is a prime example of Turkish artistry, celebrated for its bold scale, luxurious wool, and captivating palette.
Woven circa 1900, this oversized Oushak rug embodies the best qualities of the region’s aesthetic traditions. The composition is anchored by a striking central medallion set against a field of radiant Mediterranean blue, punctuated by coral, ivory, and ochre floral elements. The spacious field is filled with stylized botanical motifs, including rosettes, palmettes, angular leaves, and abstracted geometric blossoms, all arranged with an artful looseness that enhances the rug’s visual openness.
Surrounding the field, the wide border features a scalloped vine-and-palmette pattern in burnt sienna and russet red, flanked by layered minor guards with soft, sandy beige and faded ochre hues. The deeply saturated colors—achieved through natural vegetable dyes—have aged gracefully, developing a patina that adds depth and authenticity.
Crafted with a thick, plush wool pile, the rug offers not only visual splendor but also tactile richness. The weave showcases traditional Turkish (Ghiordes) knots, characteristic of Oushak production, and contributes to the rug’s softness and durability. This specific piece has a relatively high pile for an antique rug, suggesting it was well-preserved and used in low-traffic, ceremonial spaces.
What makes this rug particularly appealing is the interplay of its warm terracottas and cool blues, which create a dramatic yet harmonious contrast. The whimsical floral latticework floats freely within the composition, avoiding rigid symmetry and instead embracing the natural asymmetry typical of village weaving traditions.
Ideal for grand interiors, collector’s spaces, or as a centerpiece in sophisticated design environments, this antique Oushak rug represents an enduring blend of rustic charm and regal presence. Its generous size, masterful color balance, and hand-knotted craftsmanship reflect a legacy that continues to inspire designers and connoisseurs worldwide.
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.
