Antique Oushak Turkish Medallion Floral Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB4359 9'5" × 13'3" $28,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1920, reflects the relaxed elegance of western Anatolian carpet making at its most refined. Hand-knotted in wool, it presents the classic medallion format in a softened, decorative register that suits both collected and contemporary interiors.

A large crest-like medallion anchors the warm sand field, while loosely drawn vinery, palmettes, and scattered blossoms drift outward with an airy, painterly quality. The drawing remains spacious rather than dense, a hallmark of decorative Oushak carpets, and the broad border preserves a clear frame with repeating floral and foliate motifs that echo the center in a quieter key.

The palette is gentle and weathered: cream beige, dusty rose, pale sand, and soft coral are warmed by terracotta accents and subtle golden undertones. This muted contrast gives the carpet a luminous patina and allows it to pair easily with antiques, light woods, or modern furnishings, bringing balance to a formal living room, bedroom, or layered traditional-modern space.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
