Oushak Turkish Antique Allover Geometric Oversized Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7497 16'0" × 22'3" $180,000

This early 20th-century Turkish Oushak rug, woven circa 1920, presents an oversized interpretation of Anatolian village weaving with the relaxed elegance for which Oushak carpets are prized. Its broad, softly worn ground lends the piece an inviting presence, while the allover layout keeps the composition organized and architectural.

Across the field, a repeating geometric medallion lattice unfolds in faded ivory, cocoa, and dusty rose, with stylized palmettes and crest-like forms that give the design both rhythm and character. The motifs are not sharply formal; instead, their slightly abridged outlines and time-softened colors create a layered, lived-in look that feels balanced rather than rigid.

A tiered border frames the interior with rosettes, scrolling details, and narrow guard stripes, adding definition without interrupting the rug’s calm cadence. Hand-knotted in wool, this antique Oushak offers the warmth, texture, and historical depth that make Turkish antique rugs especially appealing in interiors seeking a traditional foundation with quiet visual movement.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance.
