Antique Oushak Turkish Floral Allover Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB6686 13'9" × 17'0" $90,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the relaxed elegance of Anatolian weaving at the turn of the century. Hand-knotted in wool, it carries the generous drawing and softened coloration that have made antique Oushaks enduring favorites for collectors and designers.

A warm taupe field sets a calm backdrop for an allover botanical composition, where faded pink, light beige, and soft peach motifs drift across the surface in a loose trellis. A muted medallion emerges gently from the open ground rather than dominating it, giving the design a graceful, breathable rhythm. The broad border repeats floral sprays and scrolling accents that frame the interior with quiet structure.

Its low-contrast palette and time-softened patina lend the rug a refined, lived-in character that works especially well in formal living rooms, layered dining spaces, and bedrooms. More airy than heavy, it offers the historical presence of an antique Turkish carpet while remaining versatile enough to complement both traditional and contemporary interiors.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
