Antique Turkish Oushak Rug BB6101 9'3" × 10'2" $45,000
$45,000
This circa-1930 antique Turkish rug features an all-over design of striking geometric and floral abstractions in shades of light beige and white, accented by sharp brown outlines against a field of muted moss green. A beige geometrically patterned main border completes the look of the antique carpet. Oushak rugs for sale are renowned for their silky, luminous wool and a weaving pattern that employs traditional tribal techniques, namely the use of larger knots and an all-wool foundation. As these works are often considered some of the finest antique oriental rugs, many of the masterpieces of the 15th and 16th centuries have been attributed to the Oushak tradition. The late 19th century saw the rejuvenation of Oriental rugs, and at this time Oushak resurfaced as a preeminent center of the weaving industry. During this Renaissance, floral patterns in the Persian tradition were incorporated into design and decorative carpets were woven as European standards demanded.
