Turkish Oushak BB8819 8'2" × 11'0" $26,000

This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. The antique Turkish Oushak rug embodies the distinctive characteristics of traditional Oushak craftsmanship, known for its large-scale floral and geometric motifs. The rug’s field features an intricate yet loosely spaced pattern of stylized palmettes, rosettes, vines, and abstract botanical elements, giving it a soft and elegant appearance. The color palette includes muted tones of beige, warm gold, soft reds, and subtle greens, creating a harmonious and inviting aesthetic. The border consists of repeating floral and angular motifs, framed by multiple decorative bands. The slightly faded, aged patina enhances its antique appeal, adding character and authenticity. Oushak rugs like this one are highly prized for their soft wool, gentle color schemes, and versatile designs.
