About the Item

73104 Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, 17'10 x 20'07. Woven in the late 19th century, this hand knotted wool antique Turkish Oushak rug embodies the rare balance of monumentality and restraint that defines the finest Anatolian masterpieces. Its expansive composition is anchored by a commanding pale verdigris hexagonal medallion, softly aged by time yet unmistakably powerful in presence. The surrounding field, richly abrashed through decades of life and light, carries a depth and gravitas that can only be achieved through authentic age and masterful weaving. At the heart of the majestic medallion, a red hooked quatrefoil encloses an iconic cross motif—an esoteric emblem suggestive of protection, balance, and cosmic order. The geometry is deliberate and ceremonial, enhanced by subtle tribal symbols and archaic motifs that speak to a symbolic language older than written record. The medallion’s edges are articulated with fluid yet purposeful linework, lending the exclusive composition both architectural strength and organic movement. Flanking the central medallion, stepped lozenges dotted with small crosses appear at either end, acting as visual sentinels that reinforce symmetry and spiritual continuity. These elements guide the eye vertically, creating a stately rhythm that elevates the rug’s scale and presence. The restrained palette—muted earth tones punctuated by verdigris, oxidized reds, and softened mineral hues—imbues this exquisite work of art with an air of quiet authority rather than ornamentation for ornament’s sake. Encasing the exceptional composition is a hooked meandering border, its rhythmic motion lending structure and ceremonial enclosure. This is further refined by double boteh rosette guard bands, adding layered complexity and a sense of inherited tradition. Rare in both scale and symbolic clarity, this extraordinary masterpiece is not merely decorative—it is a statement of cultivated taste, historic reverence, and understated prestige, destined for interiors that demand authenticity, scale, and enduring presence. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 17'10 x 20'07. Hotel Lobby Size Carpet 18 x 21 Rug. Date: 1880s. Late 19th Century.
