About the Item
Antique Turkish Oushak Rug
Size: 12'5" × 16'0" (378 × 487 cm).
This exquisite early 20th-century Turkish Oushak rug, dating from circa 1900, exemplifies the timeless artistry and cultural richness of Oushak weaving traditions, renowned for their durability, distinctive design motifs, and warm color palettes.
The rug showcases an elegant central medallion design characteristic of traditional Oushak carpets, but with a uniquely expressive and organic quality. The medallion and surrounding field are composed of abstract floral and foliate motifs rendered in a harmonious, yet playful composition. The design is punctuated by stylized blossoms and leafy sprays with a strong sense of symmetry yet featuring asymmetrical details that add visual intrigue.
The border features multiple bands framing the central field, decorated with smaller floral and geometric motifs. The interplay between the central field and the border is balanced with soft transitions and complementary colors, providing a cohesive and refined aesthetic.
The overall ground is a soft beige or ivory, serving as a gentle canvas for the intricate motifs. The pattern is highlighted with warm hues, including rich terracotta reds, burnt orange, soft pinks, mustard yellows, and touches of muted greens and browns. This palette exudes a warm, earthy ambiance typical of Anatolian rugs, while the reds and oranges impart vibrancy and depth.
Hand-knotted with fine wool, the rug’s pile demonstrates a plush and dense texture, ensuring durability and a soft touch underfoot. The natural dyes used in the weaving process have aged gracefully, producing a slightly muted, antique patina that enhances the vintage character.
Close-up images reveal meticulous craftsmanship in the knotting technique and the quality of wool, reflecting the skilled artisanship native to the Oushak region. The weave density suggests a medium to fine knot count, characteristic of quality antique Oushak rugs.
The rug exhibits signs of gentle wear consistent with its age, including slight variations in pile height and some patina in the color fields, which add to its authenticity and charm. These elements lend a story to the piece, making it a true collector’s treasure.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. 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.
