About the Item

Antique Turkish Oushak Rug Size: 13'9" x 17'0" (419 x 518 cm) This exquisite antique Turkish Oushak rug exemplifies the refined artistry and understated elegance that have made Oushak weavings some of the most sought-after carpets in the world. Woven circa 1900, this piece demonstrates a masterful command of both color and form, encapsulating centuries of Anatolian textile tradition in a palette and pattern that feel remarkably modern. The ground of the rug is rendered in a soft, muted taupe-beige tone, which sets the stage for a delicate allover botanical pattern executed in washed-out rose, faded apricot, ivory, sage, and pale peach. Unlike more rigidly symmetrical Oriental rugs, this Oushak's design breathes with organic movement. Abstract floral motifs and leafy tendrils flow across the field with a painterly rhythm, anchored by a restrained central medallion that dissolves almost seamlessly into the surrounding design. The broad border features stylized palmettes and vine scrolls in the same dusty pink and apricot tones, providing a harmonious frame that neither overwhelms nor constrains the field. The palette is warm and aged, with a patina that enhances its subdued sophistication and adds a touch of rustic charm. Constructed using a coarse knot and wool of exceptional softness, this Oushak exhibits the characteristically thick and lustrous pile associated with high-quality Turkish weaving. The irregularities and abrash (color variations) seen throughout the rug only underscore its handmade authenticity and historic 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.
