About the Item

72474 Late 19th Century Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, 16'00 x 15'07. Woven in the heart of Anatolia, this hand knotted wool Late 19th Century antique Turkish Oushak rug stands as a magnificent testament to the ingenuity and artistry of Ottoman-era weavers. Its bold, rhythmic striped composition is a striking departure from iconic Persian-influenced floral arrangements, showcasing a uniquely Anatolian aesthetic that blends geometric precision with organic fluidity. The alternating soft beige bands and richly decorated crimson stripes create a mesmerizing visual contrast, evoking the grandeur of tented pavilions, palatial halls, and the opulent textiles of the Ottoman court. Each crimson band is adorned with an elegant scrolling vine and boteh motif, a symbol of abundance and vitality in traditional Turkish weaving. The boteh, often associated with the cypress tree and fertility, dances in a delicate, flowing procession across the length of the carpet, lending a sense of perpetual motion. This intricate ornamentation, meticulously hand-knotted into the wool, speaks to the impeccable skill of the Oushak weavers, whose mastery of color harmony and asymmetry imbues this precious one-of-a-kind masterpiece with an enchanting, almost musical rhythm. Framed by an equally intricate border, this majestic work of art exudes timeless sophistication, seamlessly blending rustic charm with refined elegance. The sumptuous earth-tone palette, softened by time, allows for an interplay of golden hues, warm sienna, and deep garnet, recalling the sun-drenched landscapes of Anatolia and the centuries-old dyeing traditions passed down through generations. The dreamlike abrashed tones in the field reveal the natural variations in vegetal dyes, adding depth and character to the composition. Rugs of this scale and design are exceptionally rare, particularly those that have withstood the passage of time with such grace and integrity. Whether placed in a grand salon, an elegant foyer, or an intimate reading nook, this exquisite Oushak treasure offers more than mere decoration—it is a piece of living history. A bridge between past and present, it invites admiration not only for its craftsmanship but also for the stories woven into every knot, a legacy of Anatolian artistry that continues to captivate and inspire. Rendered in variegated shades of ruby red, scarlet red, crimson, sand, beige, almond, peach, coffee, tangerine, orange, ocher, mustard, and pale muted rose with pops of celadon, peach, and light gray with other accent colors.
