About the Item
Antique Turkish Oushak Rug
Size: 7'7" x 13'0" (231 × 396 cm)
A remarkable example of early 20th-century Turkish weaving, this antique Oushak rug from the 1920s exudes quiet elegance through its subdued palette and refined geometric structure. Handwoven in Western Anatolia, the rug reflects the storied tradition of Oushak craftsmanship, known for its spacious compositions, large-scale motifs, and soft colorways.
At the heart of this piece lies a series of angular medallions, gracefully aligned along the central axis, each flanked by stylized botanical and geometric elements. The design is beautifully balanced, allowing the negative space to breathe and lend a sense of calm to the composition. Surrounding the field is a harmonious border featuring repeated rosettes and abstract floral motifs, adding rhythm and cohesion without overwhelming the central design.
The color palette is a sophisticated blend of warm taupe, sandy beige, and soft browns, delicately faded by time to a mellow patina that enhances its vintage charm. The use of tonal contrast gives the rug a painterly effect, allowing the design to gently emerge from the surface like a watercolor.
Crafted with hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation, the texture is both supple and durable, reflecting the artisanal skill of its makers. Oushak rugs from this period are celebrated not only for their beauty but also for their adaptability—ideal for both traditional and modern interiors.
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.
