About the Item

51231 Late 19th Century Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, 10'00 x 12'05. Bathed in the sun-washed glow of Anatolia’s ancient heartland, this hand-knotted wool antique Turkish Oushak rug from the late 19th century is a radiant embodiment of timeless elegance and imperial heritage. With a sprawling field of softly faded terra cotta—a hue that once mirrored the earthen walls of Ottoman palaces—this exquisite masterpiece pulses with warmth, history, and quiet grandeur. Woven during a golden age of Turkish textile production, this magnificent work of art captures the essence of noble refinement, offering a rare and authentic link to the artistic traditions of the Ottoman Empire. Its grand scale and exquisitely abrash-dappled field speak to the prestige of its original commission, likely crafted for a well-appointed home or ceremonial space. At the core of its composition blooms a floral medallion, gently radiating outward like a celestial blossom suspended in time. It is flanked by an exceptional cascade of palmettes, rosettes, and curling vinery, whose subtle celadon, ivory, and muted saffron tones breathe depth and dimension into the terra cotta ground. Whispers of cloudbands and saz leaves drift across the surface, their delicacy belying the strength of the hand-spun wool beneath. These elements form a painterly symphony of color and form—enhanced by natural dyes and generations of patina—that transforms the textile into something more than mere ornament: a living document of Ottoman artistry. The sumptuous border frames this visual poem with the same grace and majesty that a carved stone arch might frame a garden vista. Here, stylized florals, scrolling tendrils, and protective talismanic forms unfold in rhythmic procession, evoking the walled gardens of Istanbul and the sacred geometry of Islamic design. The soft, pliant wool—aged to perfection—retains a velvety texture that rewards the hand and soothes the eye. Every knot bears the fingerprint of its artisan, each pattern a meditative homage to the natural world. The subtle asymmetries and organic flow reveal not imperfection, but rather the deliberate spontaneity that marks the finest examples of village weaving—works of both mastery and soul. This precious Oushak rug is not only a rarity due to its exceptional age and aesthetic balance—it is a symbol of sustainable beauty, heirloom quality, and cultural preservation. In a world that too often favors the disposable, this handwoven treasure offers something enduring: a connection to human hands, ancient stories, and the splendor of the natural world distilled through wool and dye. For the collector of discerning taste, this rug is a once-in-a-generation find—an investment in beauty that grows more profound with each passing year, and a legacy of elegance waiting to be passed on. Rendered in variegated shades of rust, terra cotta, faded brick red, beige, tan, celadon, dusty rose, and saffron with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear. Hand knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 10'00 x 12'05. Pile Height: 0.14 of an inch. Date: 1880's. Late 19th Century.
