About the Item
52320 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 02'09 x 03'07. Imbued with quiet reverence and noble artistry, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug embodies the spiritual soul of Anatolia—where weaving transcended craft to become an act of prayer itself. At its heart, the architectural form of a mihrab niche rises with geometric clarity and poetic restraint, symbolizing both sanctuary and ascension. Within its luminous field, delicate motifs—serrated leaves, celestial stars, and stylized blossoms—convey divine order and harmony, their symmetry echoing the rhythm of devotion. Each form speaks of intention and balance, woven not merely by hand but through the meditative language of the heart.
The inscription, rendered with the unmistakable pride of its maker, transforms this piece from an artifact into a personal statement of faith and artistry. To encounter a signed village rug is to stand before a testament of individuality—an artist’s signature woven into eternity. This act of authorship, rare in traditional Anatolian weaving, imbues the piece with an air of provenance and prestige, elevating it from devotional textile to cultural heirloom. Its symbolism—rooted in the dialogue between heaven and earth—captures both the humility of worship and the grandeur of spiritual beauty.
Encircling the field, the intricate border unfolds like an illuminated manuscript, its rhythmic patterns resembling flowing water and the graceful silhouettes of wine-glass motifs. The composition feels alive, with every form seemingly breathing through the warp and weft—both structured and fluid, both sacred and sensual. Its subtle irregularities are the hallmarks of authenticity, whispering of human touch and the serenity of a weaver’s contemplative process. The aged patina, with its softened contrasts and tactile depth, evokes the timeless beauty of an antique fresco—each thread a vessel of memory and devotion.
To own this vintage Turkish Oushak prayer rug is to possess a rare confluence of artistry and spirit. It is an object that carries both aesthetic refinement and cultural gravitas—an heirloom that honors its maker’s vision while commanding admiration in the most sophisticated interiors. Whether displayed as a focal wall textile or laid upon the floor of a curated space, it bestows an aura of serenity, scholarship, and quiet majesty. A masterpiece not merely of design, but of soul.
Rendered in variegated shades of ruby red, scarlet red, brick red, coffee, taupe, sienna, baby blue, orange, mustard, ocher, greige, and beige with other accent colors.
