Oushak Rug, Turkey – This grandiose antique Oushak rug has a diminutive scatter rug-sized composition with show-stopping borders that give this stunning piece a powerful presence and luxurious visage that rivals its larger cousins. The stylized botanical decorations, border-centric composition and open field highlight the sumptuous, soft texture of the Angora fibers, which display an exquisite abrash ranging from dark ultramarine to stormy grays. These cool, dark cerulean hues are balanced by vibrant saffron yellows, ochres and persimmon oranges that are repeated in the elegant main borders, coffered end pieces and abundant strap work guard bands. The handsome pairing of fiery warm tones, ivory neutrals and cool ocean blues adds to the rich aesthetic of this antique Oushak rug, which captures the luxurious style of this beloved carpet group from provincial Turkey.
