Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Floral Light Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1910 (Size Adjusted) BB7500 14'5" × 16'5" $85,000

Hand-knotted in Oushak, Turkey, this antique wool rug dates to circa 1910 and reflects the region’s celebrated early-20th-century weaving tradition. Its square, size-adjusted format and softly worn surface lend the piece an easy elegance well suited to layered interiors.

An allover lattice of stylized floral and foliate motifs spreads across the light gray field, where pale beige grounds the composition and faded terracotta, dusty blue, and muted teal provide quiet accents. Rather than relying on a single dominant medallion, the design moves rhythmically from motif to motif, creating a sense of openness and balance. The generous negative space keeps the pattern from feeling dense, allowing the ornament to breathe.

A carefully framed border adds definition with rosettes, leafy sprays, and small angular details that echo the field while giving the rug a crisp architectural edge. In an entry, living room, or dining setting, this antique Oushak rug brings warmth, texture, and a refined decorative layer that feels both traditional and remarkably versatile.

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.
