Decorative Ivory Background All Over Design Antique Turkish Oushak Carpet, Country of Origin: Turkey, Circa Date: Turn of the 20th Century – Here is a beautifully composed antique Oriental rug – an antique Turkish Oushak carpet, characterized by a distinctly bright color pallet and a traditional, alluring composition. Among all styles of antique Turkish rugs, Oushaks are consistently among the most popular. These classically composed carpets generally feature traditional compositions, including well defined borders, and either medallion or allover patterns. This particular example features a beautiful series of borders, colored brightly with blues, oranges, and ivory, each of which include impressive detail work. The field itself is particularly noteworthy, especially for its lovely ivory hue. Within the field, one finds an exceedingly complex but elegantly balanced pattern of floral and vine scroll detail work, impeccably rendered in orange. Complex and at the same time carefully composed, this antique Turkish Oushak carpet is a charming example of an enduringly popular style of antique Oriental rug.
