This 17x20 oversized antique Oushak rug represents one of the most structurally complex and exceptional curations of this celebrated provenance in the Rug & Kilim collection—a regal early 20th-century design defined by the grand, central geometry that distinguishes Oushaks in the history of Turkish rugs. It was hand-knotted in wool and originated in Anatolia circa 1910–1920. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will know Oushak rugs often reflect a fascinating fusion of Turkish, Chinese, and Central Asian design elements; they are one of the most individualistic rug types due to each piece’s unique employment of transitional colors and bold geometry. This particular piece is anchored by a monumental diamond-lozenge medallion that utterly dominates the field. The entire field is a large, tranquil expanse of soft camel and aged beige, providing a luminous and versatile ground. This subtle, monochromatic canvas is powerfully contrasted by the intricate detail within the medallion, which is defined by beautiful variations of light coral, peach, and ivory. The sophisticated tonal approach allows the complex geometric infill—stylized palmettes, geometric flower sprays, and repeating tribal motifs—to achieve an exceptional level of detail. The refined colors and powerful, singular abstraction give this antique piece a modern sensibility. It is both a true collector’s piece and a decorator’s dream, benefiting from the majestic scale that many Oushaks offer in departure from more traditional area rug dimensions. Condition: This antique Oushak rug is in good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor.
