Antique Oushak Turkish Medallion Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1935 BB6932 6'9" × 12'0" $8,000

Woven in Turkey around 1935, this antique Oushak carpet reflects the relaxed elegance of the Anatolian weaving tradition in a format well suited to larger interiors. Its hand-knotted construction and gently worn surface give the piece a softened, lived-in character that remains distinctly decorative.

The composition is organized around two stepped medallion forms set on a broad, open field, creating a calm vertical rhythm rather than a dense allover pattern. Crisp geometric outlines frame the central devices, while the surrounding border layers introduce a quieter note of repeated botanical and crest-like motifs. The drawing is architectural but never severe, allowing the traditional Oushak vocabulary to read with unusual ease.

Warm tan, light beige, and taupe define the palette, with faded ivory and traces of muted pink adding depth to the weathered ground. That low-contrast coloration lends the rug an understated versatility, making it a compelling choice for rooms that call for antique character, subtle pattern, and a grounded, neutral foundation.

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.
