About the Item

Antique Turkish Oushak Rug Size: 10'6" × 14'8" (320 × 447 cm) This exquisite antique Oushak rug, woven in Turkey circa 1930, is a masterful representation of Anatolia’s enduring weaving tradition. With its expansive scale, delicate color palette, and beautifully stylized motifs, this rug exudes a sense of timeless elegance and relaxed sophistication. The rug features a luminous sage green central field that serves as a tranquil canvas for a constellation of softly angular floral motifs, rosettes, and abstracted vines. The motifs—drawn in faded apricots, muted corals, ochre, ivory, and pale blues—are rendered in an open and balanced composition that invites calm and harmony. Surrounding the field is a generously scaled border in warm sand and gold tones, intricately patterned with geometric and floral elements that echo the design language of the center. Slim inner and outer guard borders in coral and cream add fine detail and frame the piece with precision. Hand-knotted using high-quality wool, the rug boasts a soft, textured pile with a slightly matte finish that enhances its vintage charm. The wool is naturally dyed, and areas of abrash (intentional tonal variation) add depth and a painterly quality to the surface. The construction features the traditional Turkish (Ghiordes) knot, known for its strength and durability. This 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.
