Exquisite Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB8396 14'2" × 14'9" $130,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, circa 1920, is an oversized square hand-knotted wool carpet rooted in the Anatolian weaving tradition of western Turkey. Its open allover layout gives the piece a calm architectural presence, making it especially useful in formal living spaces, dining rooms, or layered interiors that call for warmth without heaviness.

The light beige field is animated by a spacious trellis of vine scrolls, floral nodes, and softly geometric blossoms. Rather than a dominant medallion, the drawing unfolds evenly across the surface, with terracotta, coral, olive, and warm taupe accents creating gentle contrast. The effect is relaxed, painterly, and distinctly Oushak.

A restrained border frames the composition with repeating motifs that echo the field without overpowering it. The slightly distressed clarity and mellow palette lend the rug an aged elegance, ideal for interiors that favor natural light, antique character, and a nuanced floral rug with enduring versatility.

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. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
