Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Floral Light Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1910 (Size Adjusted) BB7500 14'5" × 16'5" $85,000

This stunning antique Oushak rug (size adjusted) exemplifies the refined artistry of Turkish weaving traditions from the early 20th century. Handwoven circa 1900, the rug boasts a spacious and balanced composition, with a soft, subdued palette that lends it an ethereal presence ideal for both classical and contemporary interiors.

The expansive field is anchored by a symmetric, mirrored medallion structure, flanked by stylized botanical motifs and angular palmettes. Rendered in hushed tones of faded terracotta, pale peach, soft blue, celadon green, and ivory, the rug achieves a harmonious blend of warmth and tranquility. Its elegant border showcases a delicate floral meander with rosette details, framed by finely articulated guard stripes.

Oushak rugs are celebrated for their coarse yet supple wool, large-scale designs, and muted coloration—hallmarks all present in this piece. The careful aging of the natural dyes has further softened the palette, giving the rug an antique patina that enhances its sense of history and sophistication.
