Antique Oushak Rug, Turkey, Late 19th Century – This outstanding antique Turkish carpet from Oushak features a delicate alabaster background that is flanked by architectural pillars, which create a decorative window-like frame for the unadorned field. Ornate spandrels decorated with coral motifs that possess an uncanny dragon-like form create strong focal points while prominent borders frame the carefully decorated field. Bright saffron yellow accents complement the warm terracotta and coral red details, which are set among a chic selection of neutrals and platinum grays. The grand borders and decorative end pieces that bookend the field feature a variety of superb reciprocating patterns. The exquisite main borders complete the classic composition of this antique Turkish Oushak carpet with a series of powerful medallions and angular vine scrolls that are surrounded by charming checkerboard flowers.
