Antique Oushak Turkish Floral Allover Rug In Warm Tan, Hand-Knotted Wool – Circa 1930 (Size Adjusted) BB7160 12'1" × 14'8" $80,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1930 and size adjusted, reflects the relaxed floral tradition of western Anatolia and the Arts and Crafts taste for softened, organic pattern.

Its warm tan field is organized by an airy trellis of pale lines that branches into stylized blossoms, palmettes, and angular leaves. Rather than crowd the surface, the drawing leaves generous breathing room, giving the composition a measured, open rhythm. The effect is decorative yet restrained, with the allover repeat creating movement across the carpet without losing clarity.

A layered border system frames the design with small floral accents, geometric details, and a softer inner band that echoes the field’s muted tones. Ivory, light beige, rust, and sage-green highlights keep the palette grounded and versatile, while the hand-knotted wool pile adds the supple texture associated with antique Oushak weaving. It is well suited to interiors that value warmth, character, and understated pattern, and it works particularly well beneath a seating arrangement, where its quiet geometry can ground the room.

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.
