Antique Oushak Rug 44890

This outstanding antique Turkish carpet from Oushak features a delicate alabaster background that is flanked by architectural pillars, which create a decorative window-like frame for the unadorned field. Ornate spandrels decorated with coral motifs that possess an uncanny dragon-like form create strong focal points while prominent borders frame the carefully decorated field. Bright saffron yellow accents complement the warm terra cotta and coral red details, which are set among a chic selection of neutrals and platinum grays. The grand borders and decorative end pieces that bookend the field feature a variety of superb reciprocating patterns. The exquisite main borders complete the classic composition of this antique Turkish Oushak carpet with a series of powerful medallions and angular vinescrolls that are surrounded by charming checkerboard flowers.
