About the Item
Antique Turkish Oushak Rug
Size: 8'9" × 16'0" (266 × 487 cm).
This exquisite Turkish Oushak rug, dating from the 1920s, epitomizes the timeless elegance and masterful craftsmanship associated with Oushak weaving traditions. Measuring approximately 16 feet by 9 feet, this large-scale rug boasts a warm and inviting palette dominated by soft blush tones, muted coral, gentle creams, and subtle hints of earthy terracotta and faded rust, all lending an aged patina that speaks to its history and authenticity.
The field of the rug is adorned with the classic large-scale floral motifs and palmettes characteristic of Oushak design, arranged in an expansive and airy layout that allows the intricate details to breathe. Central to the composition are delicate star and cross motifs interspersed with stylized blossoms and foliate patterns. These motifs are rendered in a hand-knotted wool pile with a visibly plush and supple texture, revealing the natural sheen and quality of the wool.
Encircling the field is a series of intricate borders featuring repeating vine and floral designs, framed by secondary bands with a gentle wave motif and stylized blossoms. The borders are detailed yet subtle, harmonizing effortlessly with the open field and enhancing the overall sense of balance and refinement.
Close inspection reveals the traditional Oushak knotting technique, with a dense yet soft pile that has mellowed beautifully with age. The dye palette appears to be predominantly natural, with vegetable dyes contributing to the soft, sun-kissed hues and the subtle variations in color that lend the rug its rich, lived-in character.
The condition of the rug shows signs of natural wear consistent with its age, adding to its antique appeal without compromising the integrity of the weave or the clarity of the design. The rug’s gently faded colors and soft pile illustrate the passage of time and the rug’s role as both a functional and decorative heirloom.
This Turkish Oushak rug is a stunning example of early 20th-century Anatolian weaving, combining artistic tradition, fine materials, and skilled craftsmanship to create a piece that is both historically significant and visually captivating. Ideal for collectors or connoisseurs seeking to add a touch of classic warmth and understated sophistication to their interior spaces.
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.
