About the Item

Antique Turkish Oushak Rug Size: 8'8" × 11'4" (264 × 345 cm) This early 20th-century Turkish Oushak rug is a masterful embodiment of Anatolian weaving traditions, distinguished by its refined composition, subtly decorative motifs, and softly time-aged color palette. Handwoven circa 1900, this piece reflects the grandeur and graceful imperfection characteristic of antique Oushak carpets, long admired for their versatility and understated elegance. The rug’s field is arranged around a symmetrical central medallion flanked by stylized botanical motifs—lotus blossoms, serrated leaves, palmettes, and rosettes—that echo classical Persian design influences while maintaining the rustic authenticity of Turkish tribal artistry. These motifs are loosely drawn, floating effortlessly across a soft ivory ground that lends the piece a feeling of spaciousness and airiness. What truly sets this rug apart is its mellow, sun-washed color scheme—warm tones of terracotta, rust, and muted apricot harmonize with creamy beige and soft taupe, accentuated by occasional hints of charcoal outlining. The wide main border, rendered in a terracotta ground, is filled with abstracted palmettes and angular vinery, contained within narrow inner and outer guard bands, offering visual structure without overwhelming the composition. The pile is luxuriously soft and tactile, woven from high-quality wool with a plush hand that remains inviting underfoot. Signs of natural aging and gentle wear enhance its patina, testifying to its authenticity and antique character. Minor abrash (natural dye variation) and irregularities in the weave further add to its handmade charm. 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.
