Oushak Turkish Antique Allover Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB7649 14'0" × 15'4" $85,000

Woven in Turkey circa 1900, this antique Oushak hand-knotted wool carpet reflects the relaxed elegance of the western Anatolian weaving tradition. Its square-format presence gives the piece a grounded, architectural feel well suited to refined traditional and transitional interiors.

Instead of a central medallion, the composition opens into an allover trellis of floral and geometric motifs. Blossoms, rosettes, and lattice links repeat across the field in softened outlines, creating rhythm without rigidity. The mellow warm tan ground is enlivened by olive green, dusty rose, brick red, and golden yellow tones that have settled into a timeworn, atmospheric surface. The worn pile softens the repeat and gives the antique weave a velvety patina.

A related border of small rosettes and scrolling details frames the field with quiet symmetry, reinforcing the rug’s formal character while preserving its easy Oushak informality. The result is an antique Turkish rug with depth, texture, and a subdued palette that layers beautifully beneath furniture and brings warmth to larger interiors. It has the calm, collected look designers often seek when balancing pattern with restraint.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
