About the Item

Large Antique Turkish Oushak Rug Size: 14'8" × 21'7" (447 × 657 cm). Subtly commanding and richly atmospheric, this antique Turkish Oushak rug from the 1920s captures the refined artistry of Anatolian weaving with a palette rooted in natural beauty. Rendered in a spectrum of sunbaked browns, faded chestnuts, and dusty taupes, the rug evokes the hues of aged earth and weathered stone, lending it a deep organic character. These softly muted tones, enhanced by natural abrash, give the piece a timeworn elegance that is both grounded and serene. The rug features an open botanical design composed of stylized florals and palmettes arranged across a spacious field. The layout embraces the traditional Oushak tendency toward large-scale motifs with generous spacing, resulting in a rhythm that feels relaxed yet sophisticated. At its core, the patterning is deeply rooted in Ottoman textile aesthetics but rendered here with a restraint that borders on modern minimalism. Crafted in coarse, lustrous wool with a visibly hand-knotted pile, the rug bears all the hallmarks of authentic early 20th-century Turkish craftsmanship. The pile is supple yet substantial, giving the piece both physical weight and visual depth. Its oversized format makes it ideal for anchoring large-scale interiors—whether traditional or contemporary—with a quiet grandeur. This antique Oushak rug is not just a decorative floor covering; it is a living remnant of Anatolia’s artistic heritage. Its subdued botanical motifs and earthy coloration offer a seamless blend of rustic warmth and timeless refinement, perfect for spaces that seek character without excess. 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.
