About the Item
Antique Turkish Oushak Rug
Size: 15'9" × 18'2" (480 × 553 cm)
Exuding quiet grandeur and understated sophistication, this early 20th-century antique Turkish Oushak rug captures the essence of Anatolian craftsmanship at its peak. Woven circa 1900, this exceptional piece reflects the timeless beauty and artistic tradition of Oushak rugs, long cherished for their gentle elegance, oversized motifs, and harmonious color palettes.
The field of the rug is gracefully adorned with an allover lattice of stylized medallions and botanical forms, rendered in delicate tones of warm sand, soft beige, and muted taupe. These motifs—predominantly geometric with floral echoes—speak to the region's unique ability to fuse classical Persian-influenced design with rustic Anatolian charm. Each motif is drawn with an air of relaxed precision, emphasizing aesthetic over symmetry, a hallmark of authentic Oushak weaving.
What truly distinguishes this piece is its sublime color story. Faded by time and lovingly aged, the palette leans toward the ethereal: a soft blush-cream ground is punctuated by the subtle contrast of taupe-brown detailing, creating a painterly effect that enhances its antique character. The entire composition is framed by a masterfully balanced border, densely patterned with rosettes, stylized palmettes, and angular vine-scrolls, offering structure to the free-flowing field.
Hand-knotted from lustrous wool, the texture is supple yet durable, offering both visual and tactile richness. Despite its generous size, the rug maintains a sense of lightness and fluidity, making it equally suited for grand interiors and intimate settings alike.
This antique Oushak rug is more than a decorative floor covering—it is a cultural artifact, a soft-spoken testament to the artistry of Anatolian weavers. With its refined palette, classic patterning, and beautifully weathered surface, it will imbue any interior with a serene sense of history and timeless elegance.
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.
