Antique Oushak Turkish Floral Medallion Golden Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1930 BB7015 10'6" × 14'8" $38,000

This antique Oushak Turkish rug, woven circa 1930, reflects the relaxed elegance of Anatolia’s long carpet-making tradition. Its composition is centered on a softly drawn medallion-and-vine layout, with an open field that allows the ornament to breathe rather than crowd the surface.

A muted sage-green ground is enlivened by floral sprays, branching stems, and a small crest-like medallion, all rendered in warm apricot, faded coral, ivory, and dusty gold. The drawing feels painterly and slightly asymmetrical, giving the rug a graceful, time-softened character. Around it, a wide golden tan border with botanical accents and geometric flourishes provides structure without interrupting the calm rhythm of the design.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug has the mellow presence collectors seek in antique Oushaks: low-contrast patterning, a gently distressed finish, and colors that sit comfortably in layered traditional or contemporary rooms. It anchors seating areas with ease while bringing warmth and understated movement to the interior.

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.
