About the Item

73536 Late 19th Century Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, 07'09 x 23'05. Like a radiant trail of Anatolian fire weaving through time, this late 19th-century Turkish Oushak rug blazes with a warmth that only centuries can soften. Its commanding field of glowing madder red, dyed with the essence of cochineal and roots, recalls the flicker of lanterns glowing in distant caravanserais and the burnished wall hangings of Ottoman halls. The vine-like lattice structure, adorned with stylized floral medallions and botanical flourishes, rises in rhythmic ascent—an eternal garden of symbols winding through the fertile plains of western Turkey. The motifs unfurl with both intention and spontaneity, arranged in a meandering vertical design that evokes the vines of a pomegranate tree—an ancient Persian and Anatolian emblem of prosperity and life. Each blossom, palmette, and rosette is a verse from an unspoken poem, echoing the sacred language of weavers whose hands moved with prayer and precision. The spacing of the design breathes elegance into the composition, allowing the forms to float across the red field like celestial constellations pinned against the twilight sky. Enclosing this flourishing expanse is a border of sky-washed aqua and soft gold, filled with rosettes and scrolling vines that seem to dance at the edges—neither holding back nor confining the vibrancy of the interior. The play of warm and cool tones creates a visual harmony, a kind of woven conversation between earth and sky, passion and serenity. The high-grade wool pile offers a soft luster and delicate abrash, a gentle testament to the passage of more than a century. More than a rug, this is a storied corridor of color and form, a symbol of enduring beauty from a time when the loom served as both altar and canvas. Its regal proportions and glowing palette make it not merely a decorative element but a centerpiece of heritage and soul. Whether placed in a gallery hall, a storied entryway, or a thoughtfully curated retreat, this Oushak runner brings with it the wisdom of tradition, the glow of craftsmanship, and the poetry of Anatolia’s eternal flame. Rendered in variegated shades of red, aqua sky blue, gold, ochre, beige, light pink, amber, and olive with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 07'09 x 23'05 Pile Height: 0.15 of an inch. Date: 1880's. Late 19th Century.
