About the Item

74175 Rare Late 19th Century Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, 10'05 x 14'03. Woven in the historic weaving houses of western Anatolia during the late 19th century, this antique Turkish Oushak rug is a rare and resplendent artifact from a golden age of textile artistry. Revered for their signature large-scale motifs and opulent yet understated palettes, Oushak rugs of this period were the preferred choice of Ottoman courts and European aristocracy alike. This one-of-a-kind masterpiece, hand knotted in wool with painstaking care, showcases an earthy symphony of mossy greens, sunlit saffrons, and terra cotta tones—all mellowed by time into a sublime harmony. The abrashed field and naturally faded dyes imbue this exclusive rug with a gentle patina that speaks of sunlight, silence, and centuries of dignified use. The central field of this precious artifact is adorned with a lyrical allover pattern—a graceful choreography of stylized florals, leafy tendrils, and radiant palmettes. The spacing between these motifs creates a fluid rhythm, evoking the meditative repetition of ancient Anatolian garden designs. Each bloom and vine appears as though it has emerged from the earth itself, echoing the Oushak weavers’ reverence for nature as a source of both inspiration and spiritual symbolism. This delicate balance of intricacy and openness allows the viewer’s eye to wander and rest, offering a visual and emotional refuge from the busyness of modern life. Encircling the field is a sumptuous border system, elegantly composed of interlacing scrolls, floral meanders, and finely wrought guard bands. The border not only frames the composition but elevates it—like a carved wooden frame around a frescoed panel. These classical flourishes reveal the unmistakable hand of a master weaver, one who understood the poetry of proportion and the power of restraint. The muted yet glowing palette ensures the piece integrates effortlessly into both opulent and minimalist interiors, creating a bridge between past grandeur and present-day serenity. To walk upon this exquisite work of art is to tread softly on history itself. It offers more than aesthetic pleasure; it invites its beholder into a world where every knot is a gesture of devotion, every fade a chapter of lived experience. This is a carpet for the collector who values soul as much as surface, legacy as much as luxury. Whether adorning the salon of a Provençal estate or the library of a Manhattan penthouse, it stands as a singular statement of cultivated taste—an heirloom imbued with enduring grace, scarcity, and the quiet prestige of the truly exceptional. Rendered in variegated shades of earthy greens, rusty oranges, golden ochre, rich yellows, light green, sage, brick red, terra cotta, saffron, brown, olive green, bronze, marigold, cinnamon, mustard, baked clay, moss, and sandstone with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 10'05 X 14'03. Date: 1880's. Late 19th Century.
