Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, Origin: Turkey, Circa: Late 19th Century – Created in Turkey, this elegant antique Turkish carpet depicts an angular allover arabesque decorated with intersecting latticework compartments and branching floral chains. Bold turmeric borders flanked by saffron-yellow guard bands create an elegant enclosure that contrasts the soft, delicate colors featured within the field. Octofoil medallions, minute floral chains and recessed niches line the beautifully drawn borders. Hairline stems and dainty floral motifs featuring a variety of colorful petals and unique shapes decorate the expansive field creating a vigorous pattern that remains delicate and airy and stays true to Turkish aesthetic ideals. The beautifully composed field captures a strategic combination of large medallions and small-scale floral chains rendered in cool blues and sunny Mediterranean colors.
