Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Geometric Warm Tan With Brown Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet (Size Adjusted) BB5222 11'4" × 19'4" $80,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug reflects the Anatolian village-weaving tradition of western Turkey, presenting an allover geometric composition in warm tan and brown. Hand-knotted in wool, it balances rustic character with a measured, almost architectural order, and its time-softened surface adds depth to the palette.

At the center, a vertical chain of stacked medallions creates the rug’s strongest movement, each form built from diamond lattices, star-like crests, and hooked tribal ornament. Smaller geometric devices are scattered across the field, keeping the surface lively without overwhelming the open ground. The softened contrast and aged patina give the drawing a quieter presence, allowing the pattern to read as layered and textural from across the room.

A restrained border hierarchy frames the design, with narrow guard bands and a main border of simplified vine scrolls and floral motifs drawn in a folk-inspired manner. The result is a versatile antique Oushak carpet with enough rhythm to anchor a room and enough understatement to sit comfortably in classical or contemporary interiors.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
