This vintage Oushak rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece with a softly aged palette and an airy all-over design rooted in Turkish weaving tradition. Its open floral and geometric motifs, rendered in a faded ivory field with pale blue and taupe accents, give it the relaxed elegance and decorative versatility collectors seek in hand-knotted Oushaks. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, bedroom, or dining area.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, pale blue, taupe, beige, slate, and cream, with a ivory field.
Oushak is a town in West Central Anatolia. Since the fifteenth century, it is the most famous and important rug producing center of Turkey. Particularly well known are the rugs known by their pattern such as “Large Medallion Oushak, “Star Oushak” “and Small medallion Oushak”. They frequently appeared in sixteenth and seventeenth-century Old Master European paintings. There is a group of paintings depicting King Henry VIII of England and family members standing on several different well-known types. From the late eighteenth and through the twentieth century, it became an important center for producing carpets for export to the West. The rugs from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century are highly favored for their decorative appeal with their soft palette, excellent color combinations, and informal drawing. Oushak weaves were also produced in the surrounding villages on simple looms where the weavers had the freedom to create their own designs.
