Antique Orange Turkish Angora Oushak Rug 47695

Antique Orange Turkish Angora Oushak Rug, Country Of Origin: Turkey, Circa: 1900 – Here is a beautifully composed antique rug – an antique Oushak carpet, woven by the great rug-makers of Turkey. Oushak rugs are a perennially popular style of antique carpet, prized for their unique color pallets and graceful, classical designs. This particular example is an especially exceptional composition, made all the more unique and beautiful by its angora threads, which give the piece a deep and glowing beauty which has only grown over time and the piece has had a chance to develop a dazzling patina.

This patina is clear throughout this gorgeous Turkish rug, from the relatively intricately detailed border area, to the almost entirely sparse field. The tones of this charming carpet only enhance the patina, with the softer earth tones and brighter orange colors blending into one another in an inimitable, deeply satisfying manner. The small paisley details that rest in the corners of the field ingeniously direct the eyes inward toward the small medallion that belies the emptiness of the field, while simultaneously tying together the entire composition.

This recent addition to our collection is truly magnificent example and in great overall condition. Angora Oushaks represent only a fraction of the rugs produced in Turkey. Their silky texture and overall soft coloration are what make them so sought after by consumers and decorators from all over the world. A beautiful Oushak composition, this angora rug is an exceptional antique rug.
