Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 (Size Adjusted) BB6161 12'0" × 12'8" $51,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1920 in the Anatolian weaving tradition, is a hand-knotted wool carpet with a square format and an allover floral layout. Its light beige ground sets a calm, time-softened foundation for the dispersed design.

The composition is defined by elongated boteh-like vertical forms, tiny botanical sprays, and small bird-like motifs scattered across the field in soft rust, peach, and warm tan. Rather than a dense, formal arrangement, the pattern feels open and airy, with each element given room to read clearly. That relaxed rhythm is framed by a strong geometric border of linked shapes, which adds structure and a pleasing architectural contrast to the field.

Rooted in the Oushak tradition and touched by Arts and Crafts sensibility, the rug balances ornament with restraint. The faded palette and wool pile create an inviting surface that works beautifully in a living room, dining room, or layered interior seeking an antique Turkish rug with warmth, character, and visual ease.

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.
