Oushak Rug, Turkey, 19th Century – A classical design of palmettes and delicate vines in shades of terracotta, gold, and mauve unfolds with consummate grace across an ivory field on this exquisite antique Oushak. The drawing free and spontaneous, imparting a subtle dynamism to the various elements as they unfold across the surface. A broad main border of diamond medallions and curled branches on a terracotta ground provides a suitable contrast in design and color for the field, with minor zig-zag borders for extra framing emphasis. The lovely lustrous wool enhances the delicate color effects of the palette.
