Angular arabesques featuring secondary protection symbols arranged in an open composition add to the levity of this traditional antique Oushak rug from Turkey.

Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, Turkey, 1900’s – This delightful antique Turkish carpet from the Oushak region is decorated with angular floral motifs and quirky vine scroll borders that accentuate the loose composition and charming Turkish color palette. Contrasting outlines and lozenge-shaped goz symbols exemplify the minute details and ornate symbols that decorate the muted taupe field and surround the subtle quatrefoil centerpiece. In the Oushak rug style, this antique carpet features a formal composition that incorporates ancient motifs and influences to create a sophisticated allover pattern. Ivory borders decorated with angular vine scrolls, segmented blossoms and delicate pinnate leaves compliment the peachy pink guard bands, which feature subtle flowers linked by flamboyant foliage. Warm Mediterranean colors, including peachy pink, ruby red and muted neutrals, characterize the soft color palettes preferred in Oushak and beloved by modern collectors.
