Antique Turkish Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8443 8'9" × 12'2" $48,000

This antique Turkish rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, reflects the softened elegance of the Oushak weaving tradition. Its warm tan field has aged into a mellow, luminous ground, allowing the pattern to settle into the surface rather than call for attention. The overall effect is calm, textural, and deeply atmospheric.

The design is an allover floral and geometric trellis, built from repeating rosettes, small medallion forms, and lattice-like compartments that drift across the field with gentle symmetry. A muted border frames the composition with the same restrained character, giving the rug structure while preserving its worn, painterly feel. Browns, taupe, and beige tones mingle throughout the pattern, creating subtle depth without strong contrast.

With its softened geometry and antique patina, this Turkish wool rug suits interiors that favor warmth and collected character. It anchors a room with quiet pattern and historical presence, working especially well beneath natural wood, upholstered seating, and layered neutral palettes.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
