Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Floral Teal With Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB8817 12'4" × 14'1" $65,000

This antique Turkish Oushak carpet, circa 1920, is a hand-knotted wool rug woven in the long decorative tradition of western Anatolia.

Its open composition is anchored by a muted teal field that carries stylized floral sprays, angular vines, and softly geometric trellis forms. Rather than a formal medallion, the design unfolds in a relaxed allover rhythm, with motifs spaced to preserve a sense of air and clarity. A warm tan border frames the center and introduces a lighter, pink-tinged palette, while the finely drawn guards add quiet structure without overpowering the field.

The overall effect is aged and balanced, with the faded contrast and gentle coloration that make antique Oushak rugs so adaptable in refined interiors. Botanical detail, understated geometry, and a softened surface give the carpet a calm presence that works equally well beneath seating arrangements or as the foundation for traditional, transitional, or layered contemporary rooms.

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.
