Antique Oushak Turkish Floral Medallion Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7504 12'0" × 15'8" $75,000

This antique Oushak rug from Turkey, dating to the late 19th century, features a spacious open field design anchored by a central medallion in a soft palette of muted terra-cotta, apricot, pale gold, and faded rose. Woven in wool with a supple handle and soft, luminous surface, the rug exemplifies the relaxed elegance of Oushak weaving from Western Anatolia.

The allover design is rendered in large-scale stylized floral motifs and abstracted palmettes, with delicate vinery and leaf accents scattered throughout. A narrow guard stripe frames the wide main border, which carries a continuous botanical scroll. The subtle abrash across the field and gentle wear throughout give the rug a graceful, time-softened appearance.

Versatile in its coloration and composition, this antique Turkish Oushak carpet makes an ideal foundation for both traditional and modern interiors, lending warmth, movement, and character to any space.

This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship.
