Antique Turkish Oushak Rug BB7715 12'0" × 21'0" $90,000

$90,000

This exquisite antique Turkish Oushak rug, handwoven around 1900, beautifully exemplifies the hallmark features of Anatolian weaving with its grand scale, delicate palette, and striking botanical motifs. Rendered in a warm terracotta field with soft accents of beige, coral, muted gold, and powder blue, the rug evokes a sense of serene elegance and timeless charm.

At the heart of the design lies a prominent central medallion, flanked by mirrored floral compositions and delicate palmettes that unfold symmetrically across the field. The abstracted leaf and blossom motifs are generously spaced, allowing the composition to breathe and enhancing the rug’s visual rhythm. Traditional Oushak angularity is present in the stylized vine scrolls and serrated leaf outlines, rendered with a graceful, almost lyrical flow.

The rug is enclosed within a wide ivory border that features a series of softly drawn floral rosettes and leafy branches, harmonizing effortlessly with the inner field while adding structure and contrast. The abrashed tones and gentle patina—results of both age and natural dyes—lend this piece a mellowed, earthy refinement that complements both classical and contemporary interiors.

Woven with a wool pile on a wool foundation, this Oushak carpet carries the region’s characteristic coarseness in knotting and plush, luxurious texture. Its scale and palette make it particularly well-suited for spacious living areas, formal rooms, or artfully curated interiors seeking a statement piece grounded in history and artisanal craftsmanship.

 

This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
