About the Item
Oversized antique Turkish Oushak rug
Size: 16'10" × 17'10" (513 × 543 cm)
This antique Turkish Oushak rug, dating to the early 1900s, is a masterclass in understated elegance and artisanal craftsmanship. Woven in the storied weaving centers of western Anatolia, this carpet exemplifies the Oushak tradition’s refined blend of geometric precision and decorative restraint.
What makes this piece particularly striking is its nearly tone-on-tone palette of warm ivory and dusty rose. The subtlety of the color scheme gives the rug a soft, ethereal presence that allows it to integrate seamlessly into both classical and contemporary interiors. The wool pile is expertly sheared to a short height, enhancing the rug’s overall smoothness and giving the motifs a slightly faded, ghostlike quality that evokes age and authenticity without sacrificing clarity.
The field is adorned with large-scale geometric medallions and stylized botanical motifs, organized in a rhythmic and spacious layout that allows each design element to breathe. The central axis is flanked by rows of symmetric motifs that seem to float across the surface, all meticulously rendered in light burgundy or blush outlines. The border complements the composition with a floral meander and delicate vinework, bordered by minor stripes that echo the main design’s softness.
This rug is hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, a technique typical of Oushak weavings. The weave is intentionally coarse, emphasizing the rug’s decorative appeal and imbuing it with a rustic charm that belies its sophistication.
Ideal for a grand living space or a minimalist setting seeking a touch of antique warmth, this Oushak carpet represents the enduring beauty of Anatolian textile artistry. Its graceful palette and monumental proportions make it both a functional floor covering and a compelling design statement.
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.
