Oushak Turkish Antique Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6681 13'6" × 17'11" $80,000

This antique Turkish Oushak carpet, circa 1920, is hand-knotted in wool and reflects the relaxed elegance of Anatolian weaving traditions. Its softly faded beige ground gives the piece an airy presence, while the overall composition remains clearly defined through a gently structured lattice and graceful floral geometry.

Rather than relying on a single central medallion, the design unfolds in an allover rhythm of stylized blossoms, palmettes, and leafy forms linked by fine trellis lines. The motif work is restrained and open, allowing the negative space to breathe and giving the rug its quiet, architectural character. A broad border with scrolling botanical elements and angular details frames the field with balance and clarity.

The palette is deliberately muted, with soft beige supported by layers of taupe, ivory, and dove gray. That subdued coloration enhances the antique patina and makes the rug especially versatile in interiors that call for warmth, texture, and historical depth without visual weight.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
