Antique Oushak Turkish Floral Medallion Cream Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB7522 10'5" × 13'0" $34,000

This antique Oushak Turkish carpet, woven circa 1900 in the Anatolian tradition, is hand-knotted in wool and composed with the spacious decorative balance that defines the region’s most sought-after examples. Its cream ground and softened pastel palette give the piece a quiet elegance that feels both historically grounded and easy to place in refined interiors.

A round medallion settles at the center, echoed by partial medallions at the top and bottom, while a loose trellis of delicate vines and small floral sprays drifts across the open field. The drawing is refined rather than rigid, so the composition reads as airy, rhythmic, and gently architectural rather than densely packed.

Along the edge, a blush-pink border frames the design with oversized floral rosettes, palmette forms, and small touches of light blue that sharpen the outline without disturbing the calm. The result is a floral medallion rug with Arts and Crafts appeal, ideal for designers seeking an antique Turkish carpet that softens a room while still providing structure and 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.
