About the Item

Oversized Antique Turkish Oushak Rug Size: 15'0" × 19'4" (457 × 589 cm). This monumental antique Turkish Oushak rug from the 1880s is a superb example of Anatolian artistry at scale. Woven in the renowned Oushak weaving tradition, it exhibits a masterful blend of bold geometry and rustic elegance, exuding both grandeur and warmth. At the heart of the composition lies a striking medallion motif, rendered in a muted slate gray with finely knotted accents in mustard, soft blue, and rust. The rich brick-red field, softened by age, is filled with stylized botanical and tribal elements—abstract palmettes, birds, tulips, and star motifs—that repeat with rhythmic precision across the surface. A series of wide borders frame the field with complex geometric and floral detailing in burnt orange, ochre, pale gray, and deep navy, offering a balanced contrast that amplifies the visual impact of the interior. Crafted with high-quality wool and dyed using natural pigments, the rug’s texture is deeply luxurious yet incredibly resilient. The aged patina enhances its historical character, while the robust construction ensures its continued use for generations. This Oushak is ideal for anchoring large, open interiors—be it a formal living room, gallery-like space, or refined library—with a touch of Ottoman grandeur and timeless Turkish elegance. 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.
