Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, Country of Origin: Turkey, Circa Date: 1900 — A fascinating interplay of gold, orange and deep red hues characterize this cheerful and lively antique Turkish Oushak rug. Playful abstract and floral bands frame the central design, with a thick band of flowers featured prominently on an orange background that provides a stunning frame for the central motif. Floral branches and allusions to the Tree of Life that denote the design in middle of the rug speak symbolically of regeneration and a connection between the Earth and the Heavens. Its magnificent colors are symbolic of piety, life, wealth and purity, all wonderful sentiments that suitably characterize its bright and energetic tone.
