Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB8966 6'0" × 11'0" $22,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1920, reflects the long Anatolian weaving tradition of western Turkey in a format prized for both decorative ease and historical character.

Its deep navy field is organized as an allover lattice of stylized floral rosettes, stepped diamonds, hooked leaves, and cross-like devices, creating a measured rhythm that feels graphic without becoming rigid. A narrow ivory-and-tan border, dotted with small floral sprigs and geometric cartouches, frames the composition with quiet restraint.

The Arts and Crafts spirit is evident in the rug’s balanced repetition and softened drawing, where village spontaneity meets refined room presence. Warm beige and taupe accents brighten the indigo ground, making this Oushak especially suited to interiors that call for pattern, softness, and an antique hand-knotted wool texture with enduring versatility. It layers easily beneath modern furnishings or classic woods, adding depth without visual noise.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
