About the Item

This monumental 19x22 antique Oushak rug represents one of the most unexpected, exceptional curations of this celebrated provenance in the Rug Kilim collection—a stunning late 19th-century design centered on the highly revered mihrab (prayer niche) motif. Made with hand-knotted wool and originating from Anatolia circa 1890, this piece transforms devotion into a dramatic statement of color and form. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will know Oushak rugs often reflect a fascinating fusion of design elements, standing as one of the most individualistic rug types for each piece’s unique employ of transitional colors and atypical drawings. This piece beautifully captures the whimsical-meets-regal look for which Oushak is known, structured around the solemnity of the prayer arch. The field achieves a stunning, high-contrast effect: the iconic, stepped mihrab arch dominates the center in a saturated coral and rust red, dramatically surrounded by a wide spandrel area of luminous, soft aqua and light blue. This cool-versus-warm tension is masterfully handled. The open areas are intricately decorated with delicate stylized shrubs and small floral motifs, while the exceptionally wide and ornate borders—bursting with oversized palmettes and vines—frame the composition in a rich, complementary mosaic of reds, blues, and golds. The result is a powerfully distinct design that is both highly spiritual and magnificently decorative.
