Beautiful Oversized Red Antique Turkish Oushak Area Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Antique Turkish Rugs, Circa Date: 1920 – The brilliant red of this Oushak carpet stands out for its elegance and eye-catching design. Oushak is a village in the west-central part of Anatolia that has been producing carpets since the 15th century. This piece was created in the 1920s and is an excellent example of what makes these carpets so highly-collectible.

The hallmarks of Turkish carpet design are the use of brilliant color and geometric designs. This carpet uses a simple color palette of brilliant red, midnight blue, and gray in a way that highlights the various elements of the design and makes the vibrancy of the red stand out even more. This creates a striking contrast that emphasizes the crisp lines of the geometric forms.

The design of the carpet has an elegant, formal feel. It uses repeating geometric patterns to create balance in its artistic form. It also uses tribal symbols that give it a connection to the ancient tribal cultural traditions that are embodied in every knot. The carpet uses a stylized herati symbol, which represents water or fish. You can also find simplified representations of the boteh, or eternal flame. The weaver also included the ram’s horn, which stands for power and strength.

This carpet has a special connection to both the past and the present. The formal characteristics of the design make it the perfect addition to a traditional or historical room. However, its simplicity and geometric design also make it the perfect fit for a vibrant, modern room, too. The carpet would also be the perfect piece to add color to a Boho chic design. The designer of this carpet combined elements in such a way that it creates a carpet that is versatile and able to be used in many different design concepts.
