About the Item
1920's Turkish Oushak Rug Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 12'1" × 14'2" (368 × 431 cm)
Age: Antique
Color: Beige, Green, Pink
Origin: Turkey
Type: Oushak
This exquisite antique Turkish Oushak rug, dating from the 1920s, is a remarkable example of early 20th-century Anatolian craftsmanship. The rug measures approximately 14 feet by 12 feet, showcasing a generously sized composition ideal for grand interior spaces.
The rug’s field is dominated by a serene, softly muted palette of pale seafoam green and pastel shades, which impart a calming and ethereal presence. Its subtle coloration is a signature characteristic of vintage Oushak rugs, prized for their delicate yet durable wool dyes that have mellowed gracefully over time.
The design centers around a large-scale, stylized medallion motif that draws the eye inward, rendered in gentle hues of blush pink, ivory, soft beige, and touches of earthy ochre. This medallion is elegantly framed by a broad border filled with an intricate procession of traditional floral and geometric motifs—featuring palmettes, vine scrolls, and abstract blossoms—executed with the same refined softness.
A notable feature of this rug is the interplay between the ground and the pattern, where the motifs appear almost to float on a misty background, creating an impressionistic effect that enhances its antique charm. The design is asymmetrical and free-flowing, indicative of Oushak weaving’s artistic freedom and deviation from rigid classical forms.
The pile is plush and thick, composed of hand-spun wool, demonstrating both the rug’s high-quality materials and the skilled hand knotting that underpins its durable structure. The back of the rug reveals a fine, even knotting technique typical of Turkish weaving traditions, ensuring its longevity.
Overall, this Turkish Oushak rug from the 1920s exemplifies the timeless elegance and artistry of Anatolian rug weaving, making it a treasured heirloom and a sophisticated centerpiece for any collection.
This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
