About the Item

This 14x16 antique Oushak rug represents one of the most elegant and refined curations of this celebrated provenance in the Rug Kilim collection—a tranquil yet majestic late 19th-century design defined by an exceptional fusion of contrasting colors. Made with hand-knotted wool and originating from Anatolia circa 1890–1900. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will know Oushak rugs often reflect a fascinating fusion of Persian, Chinese, and Central Asian design elements, and are one of the most individualistic rug types for each piece’s unique employ of transitional colors and refined drawings. This particular piece achieves its grandeur through the striking contrast of its palette: the main field is a large, tranquil expanse of soft sage green and blue-gray, allowing the color itself to dominate. This cool field is dramatically framed by a wide border of vibrant terracotta and rust orange, creating the look of a cool sea meeting a warm desert sunset. The design features a sparse, elegant scattering of stylized palmettes and delicate floral sprays, giving the piece a refined, almost contemporary sensibility despite its antique age. The interplay of cool and warm tones in the intricate motifs and borders alike creates the warmth and whimsical-meets-regal look that’s so telling of this provenance. It’s a true collector’s piece and a decorator’s dream alike, and furthermore enjoys the unusual, but quite versatile large size many Oushaks offer in departure from more traditional area rug dimensions. Condition: This antique Oushak rug is in good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor.
