Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Floral Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1910 BB7644 14'8" × 17'1" $100,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1910, reflects the enduring weaving traditions of western Anatolia. Its large-format, allover composition has the relaxed balance associated with classic Oushak carpets, making it an elegant foundation for interiors that call for history without heaviness.

A pale sand field sets a quiet backdrop for a loose floral-foliate network rendered in dusty blue, brick red, gold, and terracotta. Small rosettes, stylized blossoms, palmettes, and angular vine forms drift across the surface with an easy rhythm, giving the design both movement and restraint. The open spacing keeps the pattern breathable and visually calm.

A broad brick-red border frames the field with strong architectural presence, adding definition and depth to the rug’s softer center. The result is a wool antique rug with a lived-in, casual character and a warm, gently faded palette that works especially well beneath seating areas, in dining rooms, or anywhere an antique Turkish floral rug can bring texture and patina.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
