Oversized Antique Turkish Oushak Rug in Soft Beige and Earthy Browns BB3157 16'0" × 18'0" $140,000

This magnificent antique Turkish Oushak rug, dating back to circa 1900, is a true testament to the enduring artistry and craftsmanship of Anatolian weavers. Oversized and gracefully aged, the rug measures an impressive 18’0″ × 16’0″, making it a striking choice for expansive interiors seeking subtle elegance and historical character.

The rug’s design is distinguished by its tranquil color palette—an elegant interplay of warm beige tones and earthy browns, which gives the piece a sophisticated, understated presence. Its field is decorated with a symmetric, sprawling allover botanical pattern composed of stylized palmettes, floral rosettes, and angular vine work, all rendered in a soft, slightly faded palette that enhances the rug’s antique charm.

Each motif is carefully hand-knotted in wool, exhibiting the characteristically loose, large-scale drawing and the plush texture typical of Oushak weaves. The expansive field is framed by a complementary border that features a stylized floral meander, giving visual structure to the free-flowing pattern within. The worn-in patina, subtle abrash, and slight asymmetries reflect the rug’s authenticity and time-earned grace.

Ideal for traditional or transitional interiors, this antique Turkish Oushak offers not just decorative appeal but also historical and cultural richness. Whether placed in a formal living room, a grand dining area, or a serene bedroom, it elevates the space with timeless artistry and quiet grandeur.
