Oushak Turkish Antique Allover Floral Tan With Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB7175 12'5" × 19'10" $85,000

An antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1920 in the Anatolian tradition, this hand-knotted wool carpet captures the relaxed sophistication for which historic Oushaks are known. The design is an allover floral format rather than a central medallion, giving the piece an easy, continuous rhythm across the field.

The tan ground is softened by beige and ivory abrash, while the motifs appear in faded relief: botanical sprigs, trellis fragments, and geometric floral forms that seem to float in and out of view. This low-contrast handling lends the rug a hazy, timeworn quality and keeps the composition calm, making it especially suited to layered interiors. Its generous repeat allows furnishings to read cleanly across the surface.

A restrained border with related blossoms and angular ornament neatly frames the field, providing just enough definition to anchor the rug in a room. The result is an antique Oushak rug with understated presence, warm color, and the versatile character designers value for living rooms, dining spaces, and serene bedrooms alike.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
