Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Geometric Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB5967 12'2" × 13'4" $53,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1920, reflects the relaxed elegance of Anatolian weaving in hand-knotted wool. Its square format and softly timeworn surface give the piece an easy, lived-in character while preserving the disciplined craftsmanship associated with historic Oushak rugs.

The composition is an allover geometric-floral repeat set against a muted beige field, with no dominant medallion to interrupt the calm rhythm. Faded palmette-like forms, stylized blossoms, and vine-scroll accents drift across the surface in quiet taupe and soft brown tones, creating a design that feels both architectural and organic. The pattern remains visible without becoming heavy, which enhances its understated appeal.

A restrained border frames the field with the same softened clarity, reinforcing the rug’s balanced, antique presence. The gentle contrast and weathered palette make it especially effective in interiors that favor warmth, texture, and subtle pattern. It pairs naturally with layered furnishings, natural woods, and neutral upholstery, bringing depth without visual noise.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets.
