Oushak Turkish Antique Floral Allover Hand-Knotted Wool Rug In Warm Tan With Brown – Circa 1920 BB5727 13'7" × 15'6" $85,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1920, reflects the relaxed elegance of the Anatolian weaving tradition in western Turkey. Its hand-knotted wool construction gives the piece a soft, timeworn character that suits both collected and contemporary interiors.

A warm tan field carries an allover botanical composition organized around a restrained central medallion. Branching vines, angular floral rosettes, palmette-like forms, and small geometric accents drift across the surface with softened symmetry, creating a pattern that feels spacious rather than dense. The brown motif palette keeps the drawing legible while subtle abrashed variation adds depth.

A layered border system frames the composition with meandering vine work and compact guard bands, reinforcing the rug’s architectural balance. The result is an antique Oushak with decorative ease: calm in color, expressive in line, and well suited to grounding a room with understated historical presence.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
