About the Item
Antique Turkish Oushak Rug
Size: 6'0" × 11'0" (182 × 335 cm)
Striking in both composition and palette, this antique Turkish Oushak rug from the 1920s is a bold example of Anatolian artistry that speaks to timeless sophistication. Woven in Western Turkey—a region historically revered for producing some of the most decorative and sought-after rugs—this piece exemplifies the traditional aesthetic of Oushak weavings while showcasing a distinctive and modern sensibility.
The rug’s deep indigo-blue field serves as a dramatic backdrop for a scattered allover design of abstracted botanical motifs and stylized medallions, rendered in soft ochre and muted tan. The contrast between the saturated ground and the lighter patterns creates a rhythmic visual impact, drawing the eye across the entire composition. The motifs, which include geometric floral rosettes, leaf forms, and lozenge medallions, are loosely arranged in a free-flowing yet harmonious layout—a hallmark of Oushak design philosophy.
Encasing the central field is a decorative border composed of an angular vine scroll with rosettes and meandering stems, framed by slender guard bands that add structure without overpowering the central pattern. The entire composition is balanced, understated, and immensely versatile.
Woven with hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation, this rug offers a supple handle and a tactile, slightly coarse texture that reflects its authentic village origin. The muted palette and strong graphic contrast make it ideal for interiors that embrace both minimalism and character—whether modern, transitional, or traditional.
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.
