About the Item

Antique Turkish Oushak Rug Size: 10'4" × 13'4" (314 × 406 cm) This graceful antique Turkish Oushak rug captures the poetic spirit of Anatolian craftsmanship with its delicate coloration, refined patterning, and spacious layout. Woven in the early 20th century, the piece embodies the hallmarks of classical Oushak weaving: generous scale, decorative motifs, and a light, dreamy palette that harmonizes beautifully with both traditional and contemporary interiors. The field is rendered in a soft, muted parchment tone, elegantly aged to a warm ivory-beige through time and natural dyes. A highly stylized medallion anchors the composition, flanked by mirrored botanical elements, flowing vinery, and delicate palmettes that echo outward like ripples in calm water. Faint blushes of terracotta, rosewood, and faded umber add dimension and subtle visual texture. The wide border frames the composition with a rhythmic procession of rosettes, X-shaped tribal glyphs, and floral emblems in alternating shades of brick red, soft clay, and wheat. This contrast provides structure without overwhelming the serenity of the interior. What sets this piece apart is its compositionally balanced use of negative space, which allows each motif room to breathe, and highlights the artistry of the weaver. Despite its age, the rug retains impressive clarity in its design and suppleness in its wool foundation. Ideal for anchoring elegant spaces—such as a living room, study, or intimate gallery—this antique Oushak rug offers a rare combination of understated color, cultural richness, and time-softened beauty. It’s not just a floor covering, but a living fragment of Anatolian textile heritage. 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.
