Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Floral Dusty Pink Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB8601 17'2" × 18'0" $130,000

This antique Turkish Oushak carpet, circa 1900, is hand-knotted in wool and woven in the storied Anatolian tradition of western Turkey. Its generous square format and softened palette give it an easy, collectible presence that suits both classic interiors and more restrained contemporary rooms.

The design is an allover floral field worked in a loose trellis rhythm, with small medallion-like blossoms and boteh-inspired accents dispersed across the surface. Rather than relying on a single central medallion, the composition feels open and airy, allowing the motifs to drift across the peach pink ground with a relaxed, painterly cadence. The border remains understated, framing the field with gentle floral accents instead of heavy ornament.

Faded coral, dusty pink, pale sand, ivory, and warm orange tones create the rug’s mellow chromatic character, softened further by age into a calm, luminous surface. That muted Arts and Crafts sensibility is part of Oushak’s enduring appeal: decorative, textural, and quietly elegant, with enough pattern to anchor a room while preserving an inviting sense of light and space.

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.
