Oushak Carpet, Turkey – This superb antique Turkish Oushak carpet showcases a handsome medallion with architectural ornaments set over an abrashed field that is accented by mineralogical veins. The sparsely decorated field is adorned with a dramatic pendant-flanked medallion and well-defined spandrels that contain ascendant ladders and symbolic Tree of Life motifs that have a distinctive botanical appearance. Age-old protection symbols are expertly juxtaposed against delicate floral sprays and decorative rosettes. Dramatic celadon borders filled with reciprocating botanical motifs complete the elegant visage and complement the posh combination of walnut brown, celadon and ochre that is featured throughout the stately field. Honoring Anatolian symbolism and superstition, this oversized antique Oushak carpet combines ancient iconography with oxidized colors that have an alluring antique appearance and a soft countenance ideal for flattering traditional or contemporary furnishings.
