About the Item
Antique Turkish Oushak rug
Size: 12'2" × 12'4" (370 × 375 cm)
Color: beige, brown, taupe.
This rare square-shaped antique Turkish Oushak rug is a magnificent example of Anatolian weaving from the early 20th century, embodying the graceful grandeur of Oushak craftsmanship while offering a unique geometric elegance due to its nearly perfect square proportions—an uncommon feature in traditional Turkish rugs.
Rendered in a mellow palette of earth tones—soft sand, warm caramel, subtle rust, and dusty taupe—the rug exudes a serene and understated refinement. Its spacious field hosts a symmetrical latticework of botanical medallions and stylized palmettes, interconnected by delicate vinery and floral motifs. These motifs, though rooted in classical Ottoman design, are interpreted with a tribal sensibility, reflecting the rustic spirit of village craftsmanship.
Framing the field is a richly ornamented series of borders. The main border features a procession of rosettes, palmettes, and serrated leaves woven in a restrained contrast that complements the field's composition without overwhelming it. Flanked by guard stripes of meandering vines and rosettes, the borders lend a cohesive architectural balance to the overall layout.
The wool used is particularly luminous, enhancing the rug’s texture and giving the muted tones a soft glow under light. The weave is moderately coarse, typical of Oushak rugs, emphasizing plush comfort and relaxed sophistication over formality.
With its harmonious design, rare square format, and palette that bridges classic and contemporary interiors, this antique Oushak is not only a beautiful floor covering but also a statement of timeless taste and refined artistry.
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.
