About the Item

73790 Late 19th Century Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, 09'03 x 15'04. Woven beneath the golden Anatolian sun in the late 19th century, this exceptional, hand-knotted Turkish Oushak rug is the epitome of cultivated luxury—a rare piece destined not merely to furnish a space, but to define it. Its richly burnished palette—terra cotta, golden ochre, viridian, and pomegranate—radiates with timeless warmth, refined by age and softened through time’s embrace. The field unfurls in a masterfully aged red, serving as a precious canvas upon which a symphony of sacred motifs unfolds. At its heart, a celestial Tree of Life rises like a flame, flanked by mirrored birds—emblems of harmony and divine guardianship. Scrolling vines extend from its base, blooming into tulips and carnations—woven prayers for paradise, symbols of purity and everlasting love. Each detail is executed with meticulous precision, exemplifying a level of craftsmanship reserved for the truly extraordinary. Within the lozenge-shaped pendants, a mesmerizing tableau of symbolism unfolds—each motif carrying centuries of meaning and intention. Kocboynuzu ram’s horns project virility and strength, while the elibelinde figure honors feminine power and the life-giving essence of womanhood. These elusive elements merge into the iconic bereket symbol, a celebration of union and abundant legacy. Scattered throughout are ancient talismans—protective eyes, delicate crosses, comb motifs—each whispering an esoteric charm into the wool. These are not mere embellishments, but artisanal glyphs, woven to shield and sanctify. With its spellbinding ubiquity, this one-of-a-kind rug infuses its surroundings with a sense of cultivated serenity and opulent mysticism, transforming interiors into spaces of depth and narrative richness. The exquisite architectural elegance of the corner spandrels adds a larger than life dimension of measured sophistication, offering respite within the visual intensity of the central field. Their latticework in pale blue and olive mimics the mosaic calm of enchanting Ottoman courtyards—structural serenity rendered in wool. Here, the interplay between diagonal and vertical movement becomes a meditation on design discipline, composition, and restrained power. The result is a piece that transcends ornament, becoming instead a metaphysical sanctuary—a tactile garden of contemplation for the soulfully attuned. Its enduring relevance is no accident: it is quintessential high-end design, enduring not as trend, but as timeless icon. Framing the composition is a luminous border of sunlit saffron, its inner walls alive with dragons, latch-hooks, palmettes, and angular blossoms. These forms are not merely decorative—they are guardians of sacred legacy, woven in mirrored symmetry to protect the symbolic Tree of Life within. Along the inner edges, stylized wolf’s mouths and stepped diamonds act as silent sentinels, infusing the piece with a sense of strength, continuity, and ancestral defiance. The border, ablaze with boundless creativity, elevates the rug to a level of symbolic architecture, where luxury and legend are indistinguishable. Each motif, each glyph, carries the quiet weight of history—its elegance never performative, always soulful and enduring. To acquire this antique Turkish Oushak rug is to enter a realm of elite design, where every detail is curated, every texture intentional, and every hue imbued with memory. Revered for its majestic artistry, flawless artisanship, and noble provenance, this rug belongs not in passing fashion but in the canon of design masterpieces. It speaks fluently to the most discerning aesthetes—those who seek not trends, but truth; not adornment, but legacy. This is not merely an object—it is a statement of cultural literacy, a lived-in luxury, a reverent homage to the divine interplay of earth, spirit, and thread. It is a reminder that true luxury does not shout—it whispers, in ancient motifs and timeless form, to those who know how to listen. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey.
