Antique Angora Oushak, Turkey, circa 1900
An elegantly drawn pattern of fine vines and palmettes unfolds with consummate grace and perfect symmetry on this supremely lush antique Angora Oushak. The delicacy of the design in matched by the softness of the coloration and the texture of the lustrous Angora Turkish wool. The border adapts the design elements and palette of the field to a linear format, thereby achieving a complete decorative unity and harmony.
