About the Item

Antique Turkish Oushak Rug Size: 11'0" × 18'0" (335 × 548 cm) A magnificent example of early 20th-century Anatolian artistry, this 1920s Antique Turkish Oushak rug exudes the regal charm and timeless elegance that define the finest Oushak weavings. Hand-knotted with exceptional care and attention to detail, the piece measures approximately 18' x 11'1", making it an impactful foundation for large interiors seeking warmth, artistry, and distinction. The field is bathed in a rich golden saffron hue, hosting a symphony of delicate motifs—palmettes, stylized rosettes, vine scrolls, and geometric florals—organized in a loose, flowing lattice that reflects the Oushak school’s signature sense of space and balance. Soft accents of powder blue, dusty rose, ivory, and terracotta animate the composition with grace, creating a pleasing contrast against the warm ground. The rug’s medallion design is understated yet sophisticated, allowing the surrounding floral elements and abstract forms to take visual precedence. Small scattered motifs, reminiscent of early tribal symbols, add a whimsical charm and break up the formal symmetry, creating a more organic, relaxed aesthetic. Framing the composition is a multi-layered border, where a sky-blue band populated with lotus blossoms and angular vines elegantly offsets the main field. The outermost band, rendered in brick red, completes the frame with confident structure and adds a hint of grounded richness. Woven from high-quality wool with a visibly luminous, supple pile, this antique Oushak rug displays a distinct patina, achieved only through a century of gentle wear and natural aging. The softness of the weave and the deliberate looseness of the knots are hallmarks of the region, prized by collectors and designers alike. This rug is a masterclass in the harmony of color, craftsmanship, and historical integrity—perfect for those who appreciate antique textiles with soul and story. 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.
