Early 20th Century Gold and Khaki Oushak Carpet

About the Item

While oversized antique Oushak carpets are certainly known and desirable commodities in the current marketplace, few exude the elegance and over-all refinement of this piece. Classic gold and khaki hues highlight an ivory ground where repeat ornament of palmettes and vine-scroll is drawn both spaciously and crisply using soft wool and soft tones. The scale and spacing of this piece are as perfect as they are ever seen in the genre, as abstract garlands are formed from the floating floral elements of the field. The piece is framed by a complimentary border of joined palmettes, while two bands of ornament at top and bottom are elegantly used to balance the proportions of the field.

  • Antique Large Persian Heriz Carpet, Early 20th Century
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    Antique Large Persian Heriz Carpet, Early 20th Century Heriz rugs and carpets were woven in Northwest Persia starting in the Mid-19th Century in response to a great increase in demand for rugs internationally. Prior to that, there were no rugs woven (in Persia) for export that exhibited this stylized drawing of plant and flower forms. The lower knot density and thicker pile became the standard for these rugs, which lent to a less formal aesthetic that remains popular to this day. The use of natural dyes in the Heriz workshops prevailed well into the 20th century, setting them apart from city workshops, which began to embrace synthetic dyes as early as the turn of the century. What was once one of the least expensive...

  • Early 20th Century Handmade Turkish Oushak Room Size Carpet
    Located in New York, NY
    An antique Turkish Oushak room size carpet handmade during the early 20th century. Measures: 10' 3" x 12' 10" Turkish Rugs & Carpets: Until the Great Persian Carpet Revival in the later 19th century, the “Oriental rug” was Turkish. For nearly six centuries, Turkish rugs, both scatter, room size, and even larger, thoroughly dominated the European import market. Whereas the Persian carpet can be divided into urban, village, and tribal types, in Turkey and its predecessor the Ottoman Empire, rugs almost exclusively came from village weavers and from a small number of urban workshops. Ninety percent village, nine percent city, one percent tribal. Turkish weavers have, with very few exceptions, always worked with the symmetric (Turkish) knot. Wool foundations are standard practice among both town and village weavers. The exceptions, very finely woven 20th century and recent Herekeh silks from near Istanbul, and early 17th century Ottoman Court rugs from Bursa, constitute only a tiny part of the total. Always pricey, they appealed and still appeal to the clients who want lots of knots and perfect execution instead of individual personality. The urban workshops have been centered around the western Turkish city of Oushak and its attendant port town of Smyrna. Oushak weaves with the trends in fashion. When color saturated medallion carpets were needed, Oushak was ready in the 17th and 18th centuries. When coarse red and blue carpets...
