This antique Oushak from Turkey is extraordinary for its use of dynamic, small repeating geometric motifs in the border as well as the field.

Antique Turkish Rugs — Antique Oushak / Ushak, Turkey, circa 1900 Antique Oushak carpets are famed not only for their soft palettes but also for the bold scale of their floral designs. This one is extraordinary for its use of dynamic, small repeating geometric motifs in the border as well as the field. These come much more from the local repertory of Turkish village rugs rather than the classic Persian designs that inspired most Oushaks. The gentle coloration of the carpet harmonizes nicely with the delicate scale and decorative effect of the field design.
