Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8459 11'10" × 13'5" $53,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, circa 1900, reflects the Anatolian weaving tradition of western Turkey in a hand-knotted wool square format. Its softly aged surface shows the relaxed elegance for which antique Oushak rugs are prized, balancing history, craftsmanship, and an easy decorative presence.

The warm tan field is gently animated by a diagonal trellis of small botanical forms, softened by time into an understated allover lattice. Taupe and light beige motifs drift across the ground with little hard contrast, creating depth through repetition rather than bold outline. The result is a quiet, atmospheric pattern that feels both orderly and fluid.

A subdued border of scrolling ornament and narrow guard stripes frames the composition with restraint. With its Arts and Crafts influence and softly weathered palette, this antique Turkish rug brings warmth, texture, and a subtle floral layer to interiors that favor character over formality.

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.
