51134 Vintage Red Turkish Oushak Rug, 05'00 x 11'11. Turkish Oushak gallery rugs are large, intricately woven carpets known for their fine craftsmanship, elaborate designs, and rich colors. Originating from the Oushak region of Turkey, these rugs feature elegant patterns inspired by traditional Turkish motifs, including floral motifs, geometric designs, and central medallions. Hand-knotted by skilled artisans using high-quality wool, Oushak gallery rugs are highly prized by collectors and interior designers for their luxurious feel and timeless beauty, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region and continuing a centuries-old tradition of carpet weaving in Oushak. Incorporating elements of both Mid-Century Modern and tribal enchantment, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug exudes a captivating fusion of styles. At its core, three hexagonal amulets adorned with Ram's Horn motifs take center stage against an open abrashed red backdrop, evoking a sense of boldness and geometric intrigue characteristic of Mid-Century design. These motifs, steeped in tribal symbolism, add depth and mystique to the rug's overall aesthetic. Surrounding the central motifs is a stepped medallion, strategically positioned to draw the eye and anchor the composition. This geometric arrangement is further enhanced by the rug's castle line meander border, featuring rectilinear rosebuds, which adds a sense of structure and balance to the piece. Thin inner guard stripes frame the border, adding subtle accents that complement the rug's overall geometric theme. As a testament to its craftsmanship and design, this vintage Oushak gallery rug serves as a captivating example of how traditional tribal elements can seamlessly blend with Mid-Century Modern influences.
