Oversized Antique Turkish Oushak Rug BB8601 17'2" × 18'0" $120,000

This exceptional oversized Turkish Oushak rug dates back to the early 20th century, showcasing the traditional artistry and heritage of Turkish rug weaving. Measuring approximately 18 feet by 17 feet, the rug’s grand scale makes it a striking centerpiece for any room.

The rug features a harmonious and delicate floral pattern, characteristic of Oushak designs, with large-scale stylized blossoms and foliage gracefully spread across the field. The soft, warm palette of faded coral, peach, salmon, and cream hues lends the rug a timeless elegance and a serene ambiance. The motifs are outlined in subtle beige and gentle orange tones, creating a refined interplay of colors that evoke a vintage patina.

The overall pattern is balanced and airy, allowing the large floral elements to breathe while maintaining a continuous rhythm throughout the surface. The intricate details, from the flowing leaf shapes to the medallion-like blossoms, demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship and the careful attention to symmetry and proportion.

The rug’s pile is plush and dense, with a soft, luxurious feel underfoot. The natural fading and slight wear enhance its antique charm, revealing a history of careful use and preservation. The muted coloration suggests the use of natural dyes, which have mellowed beautifully over time.

The border is composed of a delicate series of complementary floral and vine motifs, framing the central field with subtle elegance. The gentle color transition from the central coral to lighter tones at the edges creates a sense of depth and visual softness.

Originating from the renowned weaving region of Oushak, Turkey, this rug embodies the rich tradition of Anatolian rug-making, known for its distinctive floral motifs and color palettes.
