About the Item

Antique Turkish Oushak Rug Size: 12'2" × 13'4" (370 × 406 cm) This striking antique Oushak rug from the 1920s masterfully embodies the understated elegance and craftsmanship characteristic of Anatolian weaving traditions. Woven by hand in western Turkey, the carpet displays the serene refinement that makes Oushak rugs highly sought after by collectors and interior designers alike. The composition features a subdued color palette dominated by warm taupe and soft lavender-beige tones. These hues are delicately worn, lending the rug a graceful patina and a dreamlike, almost monochromatic quality. Faint yet intricate motifs emerge from the surface, including stylized palmettes, vine scrolls, and floral medallions — all subtly articulated in a tone-on-tone arrangement. The faded nature of the pattern enhances its sophisticated, antique charm, creating a sense of quiet luxury. The broad borders are gracefully integrated with the field, offering a harmonious transition that avoids harsh contrast, which is a hallmark of the Oushak aesthetic. Despite its faded appearance, the rug's tight weave and wool-on-cotton foundation reveal the exceptional skill of its makers. Each knot contributes to a soft texture and a dense, durable pile. 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.
