Antique Ivory Oushak Carpet, Country of Origin: Turkey, Circa Date: Turn of the 20th Century – 1900 – Here is a beautifully woven and exemplary antique Oriental rug – an ivory background Turkish Oushak carpet, which was woven in Turkey around the turn of the twentieth century. Antique Oushak rugs, such as this striking piece, are among the more desirable styles of antique Oriental rugs, and are especially prized for their unique aesthetic approach. Generally speaking, Oushak rugs and carpets are characterized by a low contrast composition, in which subtly contrasting colors are set against one another, generally to an intriguing effect. Indeed, this understated monochromatic gives Oushak rugs a unique and immediately recognizable quality, which, combined with the exquisite line work that typifies such pieces, creates for a style of antique Oriental rug with broad appeal. This particular finely embodies the finer qualities of the Oushak style, and is a beautifully composed example.
