About the Item
Antique Turkish Oushak Rug
Size: 12'6" × 16'5" (381 × 500 cm)
This elegant antique Turkish Oushak rug, represents the finest traditions of Anatolian weaving from the early 20th century. Crafted circa 1920, it embodies the timeless aesthetic of Oushak rugs, celebrated for their oversized geometric patterns and harmonious, subdued palettes.
The field of the rug displays a beautifully weathered ivory background, overlaid with a refined allover medallion and palmette design in soft terracotta, muted apricot, faded saffron, and pale rust tones. These warm, earthy hues lend a delicate balance to the composition, allowing the ornate motifs to emerge gracefully while preserving an airy, understated ambiance.
A defining feature of this piece is the architectural quality of its drawing. The floral elements and angular vine scrolls, rendered in stylized forms, create a graceful rhythm across the field. The central medallion is grand yet not overpowering, framed by symmetric arrangements of delicate botanical motifs that hint at both tradition and elegance.
The border complements the field with a classic Oushak configuration: a primary band filled with rosettes, palmettes, and stylized blossoms framed by narrow, geometric guard borders. The use of soft red outlining on a warm beige ground helps structure the design without imposing visual heaviness, reflecting the weaver's mastery of proportion and tone.
Hand-knotted using high-quality wool, the rug maintains a plush texture and soft sheen, testifying to both its craftsmanship and longevity. The back reveals a tight weave and clarity of execution, characteristic of antique Oushak rugs produced during this period.
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.
