About the Item

Doris Leslie Blau Antique Turkish Oushak Rug Size: 13'3" × 17'4" (403 × 528 cm) This grand antique Turkish Oushak rug from the early 20th century exemplifies the renowned artistry of Anatolian weaving, blending time-worn elegance with enduring craftsmanship. Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, the piece features the softly muted color palette typical of refined Oushak carpets—subtle tones of beige, dusty rose, soft saffron, and faded rust—creating a warm and serene ambiance. At the heart of the composition lies an allover pattern of stylized botanical and geometric motifs, including large-scale medallions, rosettes, and delicate angular leaves. These float effortlessly across the field, spaced with ample negative space, lending the design a balanced and almost modern sense of airiness. The motifs, though drawn with a rustic hand, reflect centuries of Anatolian decorative tradition. The wide border frames the central field with rhythmic palmettes and rosettes connected by a meandering vine. Secondary guard borders in complementary tones and minimalist geometric detailing enhance the architectural quality of the rug. The weavers’ use of gentle abrash (the natural variation in dye) adds depth and movement to the otherwise softly blended field, testifying to the organic dyeing techniques of the era. With its subtle yet majestic design, this antique Oushak is a timeless piece suited for both classic and contemporary interiors. Whether placed in a stately salon or a tranquil library, it offers texture, history, and understated opulence. 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.
