Antique Turkish Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7274 10'8" × 16'4" $38,000

This antique Turkish hand-knotted wool rug, woven circa 1900, belongs to a refined decorative weaving tradition that balances formality with softened age. Its composition is anchored by a clear medallion-and-corner structure, giving the piece a poised presence while preserving the generous layering of an antique floral carpet.

Within the field, scrolling vines, blossoms, and foliate sprays unfold in a dense yet readable arrangement, while the surrounding border frames the design with another band of floral ornament. The drawing has a distinctly Oushak-leaning character, with rounded contours, gentle asymmetry, and an Arts and Crafts sensibility that makes the pattern feel both historical and adaptable.

A warm tan ground, now mellowed by time, is enriched with russet, dusty rose, taupe, sage, and soft ivory accents. The low-contrast palette lends the rug a quiet depth, allowing its motifs to emerge without visual noise. It is a versatile antique Turkish floral rug for interiors that call for warmth, texture, and enduring sophistication.
