Exquisite Antique Oushak Turkish Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB3901 11'0" × 14'3" $35,000

This antique Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1900 in the Western Anatolian tradition, presents the relaxed elegance for which historic Oushak carpets are prized. Hand-knotted in wool, it combines generous scale with a softly worn surface, creating a piece that feels both refined and quietly lived-in.

The design unfolds across a soft beige field with an airy allover botanical trellis. Stylized floral forms rise on slender stems, spaced with unusual openness so the composition never feels crowded. Rather than a central medallion, the layout relies on rhythm and repetition, allowing the individual blossoms, palmettes, and vine tendrils to stand out with gentle clarity.

A brick red border provides structure and contrast, filled with rosettes, floral cartouches, and small geometric accents that echo the field without overwhelming it. Subtle notes of sage, pale gold, and faded blush soften the palette, giving this antique Oushak rug a warm, versatile character well suited to formal, transitional, or layered interiors.

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.
