Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB6763 11'7" × 16'5" $59,000

Woven in Turkey circa 1900, this antique Oushak rug is a hand-knotted wool carpet rooted in Anatolian weaving tradition. Its softly aged character and spacious drawing reflect the distinctive Oushak approach, where ornament feels relaxed, decorative, and full of atmosphere rather than строго formal.

The soft beige field is animated by an allover floral composition that settles into a loose central medallion, surrounded by boteh-like forms, rosettes, serrated leaves, and small geometric blossoms. Terra cotta, rust, olive, and warm gold create a layered palette that is vivid yet muted by time, giving the design a gentle, lived-in depth.

A pronounced border hierarchy frames the field with meandering vine motifs and complementary guard bands, adding structure without disrupting the rug’s airy rhythm. The result is a versatile antique Turkish Oushak that can anchor traditional rooms, soften transitional interiors, or bring warmth and detail to a more collected setting.

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.
