Antique Oushak Turkish Floral Medallion In Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1950 BB6923 6'3" × 9'0" $15,000

This vintage Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1950 in the Anatolian tradition, brings the relaxed elegance associated with mid-century village carpets. Hand-knotted in wool, it has the soft, timeworn surface collectors prize for its depth and character.

A warm taupe field frames an oversized medallion that reads almost like a pointed arch, outlined in washed cream and gray with restrained sage accents. Small floral sprays and scattered rosettes drift across the field, while the layered border system adds gentle rhythm through botanical and geometric motifs. The composition remains formally balanced, yet its faded palette keeps the design quiet.

That combination of structure and softness makes the rug especially versatile in contemporary interiors, where it can anchor a room without overpowering furnishings. Its muted Oushak character works beautifully in living rooms, dining spaces, or bedrooms that call for antique presence, subtle pattern, and a natural, collected finish in any setting. The low-slung wool pile and softened abrash further deepen the relaxed, lived-in look without sacrificing architectural clarity.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
