1940’s Turkish Oushak Carpet with Traditional Style

About the Item

53076 Distressed Vintage Turkish Oushak Prayer Rug, 02'09 x 04'02. This hand-knotted wool distressed vintage Turkish Oushak prayer rug embodies the enduring spirit of Anatolian weaving traditions, presenting a vivid tableau of time-worn elegance and profound symbolic significance. Dominated by a rich, lovingly time-worn red field, the composition features a prominently stepped mihrab niche, which guides the design and spiritual purpose of the piece. S-hook motifs delicately outline the mihrab, framing a majestic tree of life symbol that stretches gracefully across the center, serving as a metaphorical representation of growth and connection between the heavens and the earthly realm. The rug's corners are adorned with a series of enigmatic Anatolian motifs, each nestled within the spandrels above the mihrab. These traditional designs, while ambiguous, are deeply rooted in the cultural and artistic heritage of the region, suggesting a tapestry of stories and meanings that have been passed down through generations. The motifs, combined with the rug's rugged texture and earth-tone colors, create a visual narrative that is both captivating and historically rich. Framing the Anatolian prayer rug, a repetitive star border adds a rhythmic harmony to the composition, supported by an inner and outer meander guard band. These elements not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also symbolize continuity and the flow of life, echoing the ancient beliefs embedded within the rug's patterns. Barber pole stripes further define the borders, adding a layer of visual interest and complexity to the rug's overall design. This distressed vintage Turkish Oushak prayer rug, with its profound symbolism and rustic beauty, offers more than just aesthetic appeal—it serves as a woven relic of Anatolian history and spiritual practice. The prayer rug's design, marked by the passage of time and the hands of skilled artisans, makes it a profoundly meaningful addition to any collection, resonating with both historical significance and timeless beauty. Rendered in variegated shades of red, blue, tan, brown, rust, sky blue, gray, and taupe with other accent colors. Distressed. Desirable Age Wear. Abrash. Worn-In Look. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 02'09 x 04'02. Date: 1940's. Mid-20th Century.
