Antique Oushak Turkish Floral Medallion, Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7349 12'6" × 16'5" $43,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1920, reflects the Anatolian tradition of hand-knotted wool carpets admired for their scale, softness, and restrained elegance. Its light beige ground sets a calm stage for a floral medallion composition that feels balanced and collected rather than formal.

At the center, a crest-like medallion emerges within an open field of scattered botanical sprays, angular vines, and small geometric blossoms. The drawing is intentionally loose, allowing rust, terracotta, apricot, and muted sage accents to settle into the beige ground with a gently weathered effect. Corner spandrels and the broad border repeat the same vocabulary through rosettes, palmettes, and stepped motifs.

The overall impression is of an antique Oushak carpet with the quiet structure designers value in Arts and Crafts interiors. Decorative yet breathable, it brings warmth, texture, and historic character to rooms where an understated wool rug with a soft, timeworn palette is desired.

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.
