About the Item

72469 Late 19th Century Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, 10'02 x 13'10. Steeped in the grandeur of Ottoman artistry, this antique late 19th-century Turkish Oushak rug unfurls like a forgotten tale, woven with the echoes of Anatolian master weavers. Its resplendent terra cotta field, kissed by time, radiates the warmth of an autumnal sunset, while the majestic indigo blue medallion blooms at its heart like a celestial garden suspended in eternity. Each motif, a whisper of centuries past, tells of sultans’ courts and Anatolian palaces, where such woven treasures once adorned the grand halls of noble dwellings. Fading gracefully with the passage of time, the colors still hold their regal presence—softened yet eternal, like memories woven into the very fabric of history. Adorned with stylized palmettes, rosettes, and curling vine tendrils, the intricate medallion is framed by an exquisite interplay of floral tracery. The delicate scrolling motifs, rich in symbolism, speak of fertility, protection, and the eternal dance of nature. The deep blue border, adorned with golden blossoms and meandering vines, cradles the central composition, much like the rolling hills and fertile plains of Anatolia once nurtured the skilled hands that wove it. This contrast of colors—earthy terra cotta, celestial blues, and sunlit saffron tones—embodies the age-old harmony found in the very soul of Turkish weaving traditions. Worn by time yet dignified in its presence, this Oushak rug carries the delicate patina of history, each thread a testament to the generations who walked upon its storied surface. The visible abrash, a natural fading of hues, reveals the artistry of hand-dyed wool, where variations in tone lend an organic depth to its composition. The coarsely knotted texture, a hallmark of 19th-century Oushak craftsmanship, gives this Turkish treasure trove its distinctively soft and supple feel, making it as much a tactile delight as a visual one. To run one’s hands across its surface is to trace the very rhythm of the past—a time when artisans wove not just with wool, but with reverence and devotion. A masterpiece of Anatolian textile heritage, this antique Turkish Oushak rug is far more than a furnishing—it is a living relic of an era where beauty was meticulously handcrafted, where each knot held a whisper of tradition. Whether gracing a grand estate or an intimate, curated interior, it brings with it an aura of old-world opulence and timeless sophistication. It is a woven sonnet, an heirloom of elegance, and a cherished keeper of history—forever inviting us to step into the past with every glance, every touch, and every step upon its storied threads. Rendered in variegated shades of terra cotta, blue, rust, tan, light pink, light green, soft saffron and taupe with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear.
