Antique Oushak Turkish Rug 41151

Antique Turkish Rugs -- Antique Oushak , Turkey, late nineteenth century A dynamic pattern of bold palmettes linked by fine, angular vinescrolls forms a sort of monumental 'mina khani' or allover trellis pattern across the elegant sage green ground of this extraordinary antique Oushak. The color of the field is nicely complemented by the soft browns, golds, and cool, pale tan of the floral elements. The vines and palmettes of the field are adapted to a longitudinal format to comprise the main borders, but once again on a sage green ground, giving the entire carpet a remarkably unified decorative effect or impact. The lustrous silky wool and soft handle of the carpet provide the finishing touch of elegance and luxuriousness.
