Oushak Turkish Antique Allover Geometric Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB7739 11'6" × 18'0" $85,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1900, reflects Anatolia’s celebrated hand-knotted wool tradition in a size-adjusted format. Its sun-washed coral ground reads with a soft beige pattern, giving the piece an aged, relaxed character that feels more atmospheric than formal. The composition is organized around an oversized medallion crest, but the drawing remains light and open.

Stepped geometry frames the center, while floral vines, small rosettes, and angular cartouches soften the structure along the borders. The broad, clearly tiered border hierarchy is a hallmark of Oushak weaving, yet here it is rendered with a worn, low-contrast hand that lets the motifs drift gently across the field.

The result is an antique geometric Oushak rug with considerable versatility: grounded enough to anchor a room, but airy enough for layered interiors. Its muted coral, beige, and pale wheat notes pair naturally with warm woods, linen upholstery, and collected furnishings, bringing historic Turkish character without visual heaviness or clutter.

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.
