About the Item
Antique Turkish Oushak Rug (size adjusted)
Size: 14'1" × 21'9" (429 × 662 cm)
A masterpiece of Anatolian artistry, this monumental antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1880, radiates the quiet majesty and enduring sophistication for which classical Oushak weavings are celebrated. With its generous scale and breathtaking palette, the rug is an exceptional example of 19th-century Ottoman textile craftsmanship.
The field features a dynamic allover botanical lattice, gracefully populated with stylized palmettes, rosettes, and angular floral motifs. These motifs float across a soft and serene mineral blue field, their rhythmic arrangement evoking both symmetry and movement. A subtle abrash gives the surface a time-softened character, deepening the sense of age and authenticity.
The color composition is striking yet harmonious: earthy saffron, terracotta, ivory, olive, and pale gold accents create a warm contrast against the cool ground. The intricate border system frames the central design with layers of stylized blossoms and vine scrolls, integrating Eastern ornamental richness with an almost modern compositional clarity.
Woven from lustrous wool with a visibly supple handle, this rug exemplifies the relaxed elegance of Oushak weaves—defined by their large-scale motifs, spacious layouts, and a palette that seamlessly bridges classical opulence with contemporary sophistication. The craftsmanship, deeply rooted in centuries of Turkish rug-making tradition, is evident in the crisp drawing and the nuanced interplay of design and dye.
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.
