$32,000

Rich in artistic heritage and regional charm, this antique Turkish Oushak rug from the early 20th century radiates both historic authenticity and delicate beauty. Woven circa 1900, it is a quintessential example of the refined craftsmanship of Western Anatolia, particularly from the town of Oushak—long celebrated for producing some of the most desirable carpets in the world.

This rug features a harmonious and airy composition, defined by a restrained and elegant floral pattern rendered in a luminous palette of soft pastels. The main field is dominated by stylized palmettes and floral vinery executed in gentle hues of blush pink, faded saffron, pale celadon, and ivory, giving the entire rug a light and sophisticated feel. These organic motifs are symmetrically arranged around a central axis, with mirrored elements that echo traditional Ottoman textile designs.

The border showcases a saturated yet softened terracotta ground filled with blooming rosettes and miniature floral sprays, intricately linked by meandering vines. This rich frame contrasts beautifully with the more neutral central field, creating a sense of structure without overwhelming the design.

Woven using high-quality wool and the traditional symmetrical knot (Turkish or Ghiordes knot), this carpet exhibits the thick, luxurious pile typical of Oushak rugs, offering durability alongside its aesthetic appeal. The subtly faded patina speaks to its age, adding depth and a sense of storied elegance.

This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
