Oushak Turkish Antique Allover Geometric Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7183 13'7" × 22'4" $95,000

Hand-knotted in Turkey circa 1920, this oversized antique Oushak rug reflects the Anatolian weaving tradition in a relaxed, allover format. Woven in wool, it has the softened patina and understated elegance that give antique Oushak carpets their lasting appeal.

A taupe-gray field carries a repeating arrangement of diamond medallions, crest-like lozenges, and small geometric blossoms, creating a measured rhythm across the surface. The motifs appear in faded beige, olive, and brown accents, so the design reads with quiet definition rather than sharp contrast. That low, luminous palette lends the rug an easy, architectural presence.

Layered borders frame the composition with narrow bands of stylized floral and angular ornament, adding structure while preserving the calm mood of the field. Its spacious drawing and muted coloration make it especially versatile for rooms that call for warmth, texture, and a subtle sense of history, from classic interiors to more contemporary settings.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
