Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Geometric Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB8644 14'0" × 17'0" $95,000

This antique Turkish Oushak carpet, woven circa 1900, reflects the relaxed western Anatolian weaving tradition in hand-knotted wool. Its large, architectural layout feels open and airy rather than formal, giving the piece the understated presence collectors value in early Oushak rugs.

The light gray field is softened by age into a warm wash of taupe, beige, and cream, with gentle terracotta accents at the edges. Across the center, a loose trellis supports floral sprigs and tree-like forms that unfold in a rhythmic, almost folkloric manner. The drawing remains spacious and balanced, allowing the pattern to breathe.

A wide border frames the composition with oversized angular cartouches, stepped motifs, and small blossom-like details that echo the field without overpowering it. The result carries the easy harmony of Arts and Crafts design: decorative, but never rigid. It is an elegant choice for rooms that need texture, quiet pattern, and a softened historic character.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
