Antique Oushak Turkish Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1940 BB9167 8'7" × 9'10" $26,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1940, reflects the relaxed elegance of the Western Anatolian weaving tradition in a room-size format. Its softly worn surface and generous allover layout give the piece an easy, decorative presence that feels rooted in history yet adaptable to refined interiors.

The warm tan field settles into a muted cocoa and rose-toned palette, where large botanical forms, palmette-like blossoms, and softened medallion crests drift across the surface in an unforced rhythm. Powder blue, pale pink, cream, and dusty brown accents lend definition without sharp contrast, while the abrash and age-softened drawing create the gentle patina collectors value in antique Oushak rugs. The design reads as floral and foliate, but never rigid, allowing the motifs to feel open and atmospheric.

A framed border in blush, cream, and blue echoes the field with stylized flowerheads and geometric accents, quietly reinforcing the rug’s structure. Balanced between traditional ornament and a more relaxed, transitional sensibility, this antique wool carpet works beautifully as an anchoring layer in interiors that favor warmth, texture, and understated pattern.
