About the Item
Antique Turkish Oushak Rug
Size: 12'8" × 17'0" (386 × 518 cm)
Bold, regal, and richly decorative, this antique Turkish Oushak rug exemplifies the artistic mastery and opulent color palette that define classical Anatolian weaving. Dating back to circa 1880, the carpet features a vibrant crimson field densely decorated with an all-over motif of boteh forms—stylized leaf or paisley figures—each enclosed in a serrated medallion. These boteh emblems vary slightly in color, ranging from camel, rust, and ivory to robin’s egg blue, giving the surface a dynamic yet harmonious rhythm.
The uniformity of the boteh pattern is offset by the lively and multi-tiered borders. The main border showcases a procession of palmettes and angular vine scrolls, framed by multiple guard borders adorned with floral rosettes and leaf motifs in contrasting shades of ivory, celadon, and muted red. These details imbue the rug with both movement and a sense of regal order.
Woven by hand from high-quality wool, the rug carries the unmistakable character of antique Turkish craftsmanship, including a deep, lustrous pile and a palette created from natural dyes. The clarity of the design, the symmetry of the motifs, and the luminous intensity of the red field make this piece not only a decorative treasure but also a culturally rich textile with historical weight.
Ideal for formal interiors or eclectic spaces seeking a striking centerpiece, this Oushak rug embodies the sophistication of Ottoman aesthetics and the enduring allure of Anatolian textile traditions.
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.
