Oushak Turkish Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7264 11'8" × 15'3" $45,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1920, reflects the long Anatolian tradition of hand-knotted wool carpets prized for their relaxed elegance and enduring versatility.

Its warm tan field is filled with a softly repeating floral trellis, where palmettes, rosettes, and leafy vines drift across the surface in muted taupe, light beige, and dark brown. Rather than a sharply formal medallion layout, the composition reads as an allover botanical pattern with a time-softened rhythm that gives the rug its inviting, lived-in character. A layered border system frames the field with small blossoms and linear accents, adding structure without disturbing the gentle, painterly effect.

The low-contrast palette and worn abrash allow the design to settle beautifully into both classic and contemporary interiors. As an antique Oushak floral rug, it offers the warmth of traditional Turkish weaving with a subtle, understated presence that grounds a room while keeping the overall look light and refined.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
