Oushak Turkish Antique Floral Medallion Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 Paisley Design BB8939 4'0" × 6'3" $1,500

This antique Karabakh rug, circa 1920, is a hand-knotted wool carpet with an Oushak-influenced floral medallion composition. Woven in the Karabakh region, it reflects the area’s ability to blend local weaving tradition with the softer, more decorative language associated with Turkish Oushak rugs.

A soft beige field creates an airy backdrop for the central dark medallion, which is filled with dense floral movement and outlined in a vivid rose note. Small corner sprays repeat the palette in blush pink, cream, and pale blue, while the broad border gathers the design into a richly layered frame. The contrast between the open center and the saturated edges gives the rug a graceful, well-balanced presence.

Its weathered surface and muted tones lend character without heaviness, making it especially effective in rooms that call for pattern with restraint. This antique wool rug offers both historical depth and a relaxed decorative quality, allowing it to work beautifully in traditional interiors, transitional spaces, or layered contemporary settings.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets.
