Late 19th Century Antique Turkish Oushak Rug with Time-Softened Colors

About the Item

73717 Late 19th Century Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, 11'02 x 13'08. Woven in the twilight of the 19th century, this hand knotted wool antique Turkish Oushak rug is a lyrical expression of Anatolia’s golden age of weaving—where time-honored techniques met the soul of storytelling. Its dreamy palette, a faded garden of misty sage, apricot blush, and sun-washed gold, evokes the soft patina of memory, like the pages of a long-forgotten manuscript. Worn gently by time, each nuance of color holds echoes of candlelit interiors and the hush of silken footsteps across grand stone chambers. This is not merely a rug—it is a woven reverie. The allover pattern, composed of scattered diamonds, stylized blossoms, and ancient Anatolian motifs, seems to drift across the field like drifting petals or stars in an antique constellation. Each form is rendered with the freedom of improvisation and the rhythm of tradition, guided by a weaver’s intuition and ancestral memory. The asymmetries and abrash shifts of tone only deepen its soulful character, marking it as the handwork of a master artisan rather than the product of mechanical repetition. It carries with it a distinctly poetic quality—rooted in Ottoman visual culture, yet softened by the romance of age. Encircling this celestial field is a sequence of borders in rose-blush and muted amber, adorned with delicate rosettes, vine scrolls, and symbolic talismans of protection and abundance. These borders serve as more than ornamentation; they are thresholds—liminal spaces that draw the viewer into a world of craftsmanship, beauty, and quiet reflection. Every softened edge, every worn motif, feels like a verse from a visual poem composed in wool, its meter dictated by hand and loom, and its rhyme whispered by time itself. To live with this antique Oushak rug is to commune with the spirit of a bygone era—where utility was elevated to art, and the home was considered a sacred canvas for beauty. Whether gracing a serene study, anchoring an airy salon, or offering warmth beneath bare feet, this woven wonder carries not only the beauty of Anatolia’s past, but also its enduring grace. It is a timeless companion—an heirloom of elegance and soul, offering history not as a relic, but as a living, breathing presence woven into every thread. Rendered in variegated shades of sage, greyish-greenish, moss, verdigris, apricot, rose, goldenrod, soft amber, beige and tan with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 11'02 x 13'08. Pile Height: 0.20 of an inch. Date: 1880's. Late 19th Century.
