Delightfully sophisticated, this charming antique Turkish Oushak rug features a dainty terrapin medallion surrounded by a field of pentagonal strawberry clusters.

Oushak Rug, Turkey – Evoking a compilation of classical styles, this delightful antique Oushak rug has a natural sophistication and character-giving rustic traits. Neoclassical spandrels with cornucopia flourishes and acanthus leaf accents provide an inherent neoclassical feel that is offset by a charming pattern of repeating strawberry clusters that are both rustic and evocative of Victorian and shabby chic designs that have a retro flair while remaining stately and sophisticated. Delightful floral guard bands and rustic tiled borders frame the sultry berry-stain field while embodying the convergence of traditional rectilinear weaving motifs and luxurious rose-filled bouquets traditionally associated with European designs. Floral lozenges with branching extensions gracefully interlock around the perimeter of the field alongside exquisitely delicate guard bands featuring meandering vines that capture the tender, flirty feminine style of this historical yet surprisingly contemporary design.
