Antique Oushak Gallery Carpet, Turkey, eighteenth century A classical medallion design with lavish arabesque detail unfolds with meticulous precision and rich saturated color on this stunning early Oushak, directly descended from the Ottoman court carpets of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. A rich palmette and rosette border with similar coloration nicely balances the linearity of the field design. The grand scale of this piece contributes to its the lavish, palatial impression.
