Antique Oushak Turkish Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB9067 13'0" × 22'3" $43,000

Woven in Turkey around 1900, this antique Oushak rug reflects the refined Anatolian tradition in an oversized hand-knotted wool format. Its open composition feels graceful rather than dense, allowing the design to breathe across the warm tan ground.

Delicate foliate sprays, small floral accents, and softened medallion-like forms drift through the field in a low-contrast drawing that reads almost painterly. At each corner, large brick red and brown spandrels introduce a richer note, while the restrained ornament keeps the center light and spacious. The effect is quietly architectural, with enough pattern to anchor a room without overwhelming it.

A narrow floral border frames the composition with a steady rhythm of blossoms and vines, adding definition to the relaxed interior. Time has mellowed the palette into cream, warm tan, rust red, and dark brown, enhancing the antique character and giving the rug an easy versatility for formal living spaces, dining rooms, or layered interiors seeking warmth and historic depth.

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.
