Oushak Turkish Antique Allover Geometric Warm Tan With Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB3313 15'9" × 18'2" $135,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1900 in the Anatolian weaving tradition, is a hand-knotted wool carpet defined by its relaxed allover geometry. Its warm tan ground gives the piece an easy, lived-in presence, while the oversized format allows the pattern to breathe across the field with notable openness and balance.

The design is built from staggered diamond medallions, trellis-like compartments, and softened botanical rosettes that repeat in a loose, room-friendly rhythm. Rendered in light beige and muted brown, the motifs feel gently faded rather than sharp, lending the composition the calm, decorative character for which antique Oushaks are prized. The low-contrast drawing keeps the surface elegant and understated.

A refined border system frames the field with rosettes, angular vines, and small geometric details, adding structure without closing in the design. The result is a Turkish antique rug that works beautifully in traditional, transitional, or layered interiors, bringing warmth, texture, and historic character with an especially composed visual tempo.
