Hand knotted in wool from a notable sheen yarn originating from Turkey circa 1950-1960, this mid-century rug remarks a distinctive vintage Oushak rug design with a notably inviting peach accent, abbrashed in the prevailing beige-brown hues. The consistency of the sharply graphed medallion colorways against the more whimsical, abrashed field background lends the former a natural dimensionality and attention to the meticulous detail they enjoy, further complemented by the subtle juxtaposition of less defined, equally intricate meandering borders playing with bright pink, muted blue, and bold black hues in creative alternation. There’s an archaic modernism to the progressive colorway of this piece that works with the ideal scale, whimsical transitional colorway, and almost playful tribal nature of the pattern that reads so uniquely among the classic Oushak rugs of our Antique & Vintage rug collection. About the Collection: Antique rugs have been in Josh’s resume since he began in the industry almost 40 years ago when he was already recognized for one of the largest oriental rug collections in the United States. Each piece in the internationally recognized volume was hand picked for rarity, and of course aesthetic and beauty, now complementing one of the widest varieties of Persian rug and Turkish rug collections with the utmost attention to individuality and care. Because of Josh’s position in the wholesale rug industry he’s been responsible for promoting a number of collections throughout history, from breathtaking signature Tabriz, Sultanabad, Kerman Lavar, Agra, and Oushak classics to the more unsung jewels of the luxury industry.Vintage has also been synonymous with who we are since our beginning, particularly for our unparalleled Kilim collection, but with the rise of Mid Century collection the term vintage carpet has become very popular—especially exciting because often times many of the vintage carpets have also been treated, washed, dyed over, sheared, and modified—and has created a very successful category. We’re especially very proud of our vintage Kilims and Turkish rugs curated for our expansive collection of both area rugs and runners alike.Rug & Kilim maintains our own facilities for cleaning and restoration exclusively for carpets we’ve sold to ensure their lasting beauty and care long after a piece leaves our collection.
