About the Item

50418 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 07'06 x 11'10. Radiant as a sunset cloaked in Anatolian dust, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug is a poetic relic from a bygone era—where each knot whispers a memory, and every hue carries the warmth of ancient hearths. At its heart lies a grand stepped medallion, resting like a sacred mountain upon a field of weathered terracotta and burnished apricot. The medallion’s form, with its jagged geometry and mirrored contours, echoes the sacred geometry of Turkish tribal design, its center blooming with delicate floral tracery and quiet symmetry. Surrounding the medallion is a story told in the language of symbols and silhouettes—graceful boteh motifs, stylized blossoms, and abstract palmettes scattered across the inner field like prayers cast into the wind. The faded saffron and parchment-colored ground softens their voices, lending the composition a dreamlike atmosphere, as though the Oushak rug itself has been kissed by centuries of golden light and gently aged beneath silk-veiled skies. A rich dark brown border wraps the composition with an ornate garden of rosettes, lilies, and scrolling vines. Each flower is a flourish of life, a testament to the timeless dance between nature and artistry, framed by the protective gaze of an angular meander and flanked with pale camel colored guard bands. The contrast between the darker border and the luminous center creates a visual rhythm—like dusk enfolding the final light of day, tender and eternal. This vintage Oushak rug is more than a woven textile—it is a chapter in the epic poem of Anatolia, a tale of resilience, reverence, and refinement. In its balance of boldness and softness, clarity and erosion, it brings a soulful gravitas to the spaces it inhabits. Whether laid beneath a gathering table or admired as a wall-hung heirloom, it breathes warmth, history, and a sense of poetic permanence into the present. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 07'06 x 11'10. Pile Height: 0.18 of an inch. Date: 1960's. Mid-20th Century.

Located in Dallas, TX
52415 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 04'09 x 11'03. Immerse yourself in the allure of this hand-knotted masterpiece – a vintage Turkish Oushak gallery rug that weaves a tale of timeless elegance. Picture a canvas adorned with four lozenge medallions, each bearing anchor pendants, gracefully scattered over an abrashed red field. Half medallions, mirroring the hues of the edges, extend in a dance towards the heart of the rug.

Behold a pleasing time-softened color palette, where hues whisper tales of the past, and an intriguing amalgamation of designs that beckons you to explore further.
