Antique Turkish Oushak Rug 48184

Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, Country of Origin: Turkey, 1900 — This Antique Turkish Oushak Rug is bathed in different hues of red and is a vibrant representation of Turkish rug-work. Emblematic of much ancient Asian artwork, this antique rug evokes a sense of chaotic freedom while existing within a number of calculated geometric structures. This rug was crafted to be admired and pondered upon. As one looks closer, its true detail begins to slowly emerge. Different hues of red blush into each other, revealing detail that modern, mass produced rugs are unable to compare. The rug eschews modern rug conformity by exuberantly displaying its hand-stitched style; although many images and shapes repeat throughout the rug, it appears that no image is the same. As a whole, the Antique Turkish Oushak Rug seems to embody a type of Eastern folk-art elegance.
