Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB1296 12'6" × 14'7" $85,000

This antique Oushak Turkish rug, woven in western Turkey around 1900, reflects the relaxed grandeur of the historic Oushak weaving tradition. Hand-knotted in wool, it offers the generous scale and softened ornamentation that have made antique Oushaks prized for both collecting and decorating.

The composition is an allover geometric trellis with stylized foliate infill, arranged across a warm tan field without a dominant medallion. Angular lattice forms, small blossoms, and stepped motifs create a measured rhythm, while the layered borders provide definition and balance. Its pattern is intentionally muted by age, giving the design a calm, architectural presence rather than a high-contrast graphic effect.

The palette is grounded in warm tan, sandy beige, light brown, and faded brown tones, with touches of softened rust and taupe emerging through the surface. This timeworn color story lends the rug a welcoming patina and makes it especially versatile in interiors that call for texture, warmth, and historic character. As an antique Turkish geometric rug, it brings subtle movement and enduring decorative depth to a room.

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.
