About the Item

Mid-20th Century Oushak handmade wool rug Size: 8'4" x 8'9" (256 x 268 cm) This exquisite antique Oushak rug from Turkey, dating to the early 20th century, is a masterful example of the region’s renowned weaving tradition. Measuring approximately 9 feet by 8 feet, it displays a captivating palette of warm reds, soft creams, and rich ochres, accented with subtle hints of yellow, grey, and rust. The central field of the rug is adorned with a dense and lively arrangement of traditional Turkish motifs, including stylized floral elements, geometric medallions, and symbolic shapes that reflect the cultural heritage of the Oushak weaving centers. These motifs are masterfully interwoven in a somewhat asymmetric yet balanced composition that showcases the weaver’s skill and creativity. Surrounding the central design is a broad main border filled with a sequence of interconnected geometric and floral motifs, framed by multiple guard borders that provide a harmonious framing effect. The border’s intricate patterning contrasts beautifully with the more open and dynamic motifs of the rug’s field, creating a compelling visual depth. The weave is tight and finely knotted, characteristic of high-quality Oushak craftsmanship, with a medium pile height that has softened over time, giving the rug a velvety texture and a warm patina. The rug’s colors have mellowed gracefully, enhancing its antique charm and historical character. 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.
