An Exceptional Antique Turkish Oushak Rug
This refined antique Oushak rug is a rare example of Turkish craftsmanship at its finest. Handwoven over a century ago from naturally dyed wool, it embodies the qualities Oushak rugs are celebrated for: artistic simplicity, generous proportions, and a warm, sophisticated palette softened by time.
Design & Color Story
The design is anchored by deep indigo geometric medallions arranged across the field in a balanced, architectural composition. The layout feels spacious and open, allowing each medallion to breathe without crowding the surface. The geometry is crisp yet relaxed, creating visual rhythm that is both structured and organic. An elegant border frames the composition with restraint, echoing the field’s tonality.
The palette is warm and beautifully aged. A luminous terracotta field—softened by decades of natural patina—provides a glowing foundation, while deep indigo medallions offer rich contrast and grounding. Muted earth tones throughout add dimensional warmth. Time has mellowed the natural dyes into a unified, saturated tonality that feels both authentic and inviting.
In a space, this rug brings understated character—warm, grounded, and effortlessly sophisticated.
