Antique Oushak Turkish Floral Allover Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 (Size Adjusted) BB8498 10'3" × 14'7" $30,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1920, reflects the relaxed elegance of Anatolian carpet weaving in hand-knotted wool. Its warm taupe ground and softly muted brown-beige accents create a calm, timeworn palette that feels especially adaptable in contemporary interiors.

The composition favors an open allover field rather than a strict medallion, with stylized blossoms, rosettes, and small geometric devices dispersed in a gentle rhythm across the surface. Faded floral sprays and cross-like motifs appear almost suspended in the weave, giving the design a quiet, atmospheric presence. A restrained border system frames the field with subtle authority.

True to the appeal of antique Oushak rugs, the drawing is large-scale, informal, and gracefully softened by age, allowing the pattern to read with ease instead of ornament. The result is a wool rug that brings texture, heritage, and a composed decorative note to both traditional and modern rooms.

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.
