About the Item

Oversize Antique Turkish Oushak rug, 17'10 x 22'10. Oversize antique Turkish Oushak rug, circa 1900. What could be more luxurious than a gigantic silver carpet? Oushak carpets were woven in any size and this oversize example has a unique silver-grey overall tonality with just the barest hint of a pattern. The pile wool has a particularly glowing patina without being of the shiny Angora type. To fully appreciate this carpet, it must be seen in a room setting, with furniture. Far better than any broadloom carpeting could be, it integrates a room into an organic decorative whole. It accomplishes this without any overt design elements visually pulling or pushing things about. The enormous scale of this semi-monochrome carpet indicates that it was a very special order for a very large room. The accompanying illustration of the carpet in a semi-traditional room setting shows just how effective is its organizational character. The carpet complete the room, giving it a wholeness and completeness it would otherwise lack. However, the almost severe minimality of this piece also renders it highly effective in the most contemporary context imaginable. In a large, light-filled loft, consider how strongly it would tie together the most ultra-modern furnishings. Besides the visual character of this amazing carpet, there is also a sensual, tactile character that makes you want to walk on it, with or, even better, without shoes. The carpet has been given a soft wash to gentle tone down the colors.
