Vintage Oushak Rug with Italian Venetian Style

About the Item

52384, vintage Oushak rug with Venetian style. Venetian style is a stunning amalgam of Islamic and Italian furnishings and design elements. In this hand knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug we see both cultures on display. Sumptuous like Italian velvet, the cut-out field is a luscious brick red with Abrash gradations adding depth and interest. Stars and geometric patterns reminiscent of tribal weavings combine the earth-tone colors to a rich, earthy effect. The centre medallion features two long arrowhead pendants, one with an elaborate finial, pointing to either end of the rug. In the brick red stepped cut-out field and gray spandrels, a variety of motifs appear at asymmetrical intervals including rosettes, swirls, and squares. A serrated edge inner saw-tooth border flanks a primary border composed of ten-pointed stars and tribal hands on hip motifs. Outer borders include running water ribbons and a Meander carnation border. Along the width, one end piece finishes the rug, replete with a checkerboard of alternating squares and more ribbons. Alluring and stately, tribal and palatial, this vintage Oushak rug emanates elegance in nearly any interior it graces. Well-suited for a range of interior styles including Old World, Venetian, Italian, European, Renaissance, Tudor, Jacobean, Tribal, Mid-Century Modern, Rustic, Lodge, Cabin, Modern, Bungalow, or Traditional.
