About the Item

Antique Turkish Oushak Rug Size: 11'8" × 14'1" (355 × 429 cm) This antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven in the 1920s, embodies the serene elegance and timeworn beauty that define Anatolian weaving traditions. Characterized by its spacious composition and soft, muted tones, this rug speaks to both the artistic refinement and the utilitarian grace of Turkish craftsmanship. The field is adorned with a repeating pattern of stepped medallions and cross motifs, forming a symmetrical lattice that draws the eye across the expansive rose-pink ground. These geometric forms are executed in gentle hues of taupe, faded chestnut, and soft olive—colors that have mellowed with age, imparting a patina of authenticity and warmth. A wide border frames the design with a rhythmic floral pattern composed of stylized rosettes and vines, all rendered in similarly restrained tones that blend seamlessly with the field. The detailing shows clear Western influence, a hallmark of Oushak rugs from the early 20th century, while still retaining its unmistakable Turkish identity through tribal structure and weaving technique. Hand-knotted in wool with a visibly tight weave, this rug boasts a refined texture that enhances its graphic quality. Its slightly worn appearance adds to its character, making it not only a collectible piece but also a highly versatile decorative element suited for both classical and modern interiors. This Oushak is a compelling example of transitional design—bridging the rustic authenticity of village rugs with the emerging tastes of early 20th-century decorative arts. This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
