About the Item

Antique Turkish Oushak Rug Size: 13'7" × 22'4" (414 × 680 cm) A majestic example of Anatolian weaving artistry, this oversized antique Turkish Oushak rug embodies the enduring charm and grandeur of early 20th-century craftsmanship. Handwoven circa 1920, the piece captivates with its spacious composition, where stylized botanical motifs and geometric medallions are carefully set against a muted palette of soft beige, taupe, and dusty lavender-grey. What sets this Oushak apart is its restrained elegance and visual balance. The central field features an array of gently faded, large-scale palmettes, rosettes, and diamond medallions, arranged in a rhythmic vertical pattern. The design is neither rigidly formal nor entirely free-flowing—it maintains a meditative symmetry that enhances its tranquil presence. Framing the central design, multiple narrow borders form a harmonious enclosure with intricate linear and floral motifs rendered in complementary tones. The pile is low and luminous, testifying to age and use, yet the artistry remains unmistakable. The wool's soft sheen and the understated variation in color—a result of both natural dyes and patina—imbue the rug with depth and dimension. Despite its subdued coloration, the rug's intricate detail and oversized format make it a striking anchor for grand interiors, from classic European salons to minimalist, contemporary spaces. Its soft coloration enhances versatility, while its heritage and scale lend an air of quiet sophistication. 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.
