About the Item
52316 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 06'00 x 10'07. Commanding in presence yet refined in execution, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug embodies the nobility of Anatolian weaving tradition, where geometry, symbolism, and spirit intertwine to create an artifact of both art and meaning. Three grand hexagonal medallions anchor its composition—each rendered with architectural precision and adorned with stylized florals and ram’s horn motifs that speak to themes of strength, fertility, and continuity. Across its surface, the interplay of form and texture evokes the poetry of balance—ancient in soul, yet modern in its disciplined restraint.
Every signature motif woven into this Oushak rug carries the weight of heritage. Burdock forms, woven with the subtle authority of protective talismans, serve as guardians against misfortune. Guls, the eight-pointed stars that shimmer within the field, symbolize wholeness and divine order, aligning human creation with cosmic rhythm. Most arresting of all are the anchor symbols—a rare and evocative inclusion within the Turkish canon—suggesting faith, stability, and safe passage. They speak to a weaver’s quiet hope for resilience and rootedness amid life’s shifting tides, transforming this textile into a tapestry of intention.
The inscriptions and date that adorn the upper medallion mark this rug not merely as a decorative object but as a personal statement of legacy—a message passed through generations in wool and dye. Its weathered abrash, achieved through time and hand-spun technique, softens the geometry into something deeply human—an expression of imperfection elevated to artistry. The floret border that encircles the field ties the entire composition together with rhythmic elegance, creating a frame that feels both protective and ornamental, harmonizing its powerful interior imagery with gentle refinement.
To possess this vintage Turkish Oushak rug is to hold a woven testament to Anatolian identity—an heirloom where personal devotion, artistic mastery, and cultural continuity converge. It is a piece for the discerning collector who seeks not only beauty but symbolism, history, and soul. Whether placed in a modern penthouse or a grand ancestral home, it commands presence with quiet authority, offering both visual grandeur and a profound sense of belonging to those who understand the language of heritage.
Rendered in variegated shades of rustic red, scarlet red, ruby red, brick red, maroon, burgundy, sage, gray, greige, oyster gray, mauve, light pink, brass, ocher, coffee, sienna, raw umber, olive, charcoal, fawn, ecru, tan, sand, beige and ivory.
