Oushak Turkish Antique Allover Geometric Warm Tan With Brown Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7718 19'0" × 19'6" $160,000

This exceptional antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1900, exemplifies the timeless elegance and understated sophistication for which Anatolian weavings are renowned. Its generously oversized square format and muted palette of camel and taupe tones create a harmonious and grounding visual impact, ideal for large interior spaces seeking an earthy, refined aesthetic.

The design features a striking allover pattern of stylized medallions and floral motifs, each rendered with a geometric sensibility that reflects the regional Oushak weaving tradition. The medallions appear in orderly horizontal rows, interconnected by subtle motifs that evoke ancient tribal symbolism. Framing the composition is a series of narrow and wide borders showcasing intricate botanical forms, lending further depth and balance to the piece.

The palette—comprised primarily of warm browns, soft charcoal, and parchment beige—has aged gracefully over time, developing a desirable patina that enhances the rug’s antique character. Woven with a wool pile on a wool foundation, this rug bears the unmistakable signs of fine craftsmanship, including a visibly tight weave and hand-knotting that speak to its artisan origins.

Whether placed in a classic or contemporary setting, this antique Oushak rug offers a compelling blend of historical authenticity and decorative versatility. Its subtle strength lies in the quiet luxury of its design—a testament to the enduring beauty of Turkish textile artistry.
