This definitive antique Oushak carpet features a splendid medallion composition executed in a decorator’s palette of blushing pinks and luxurious neutral tones.

Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, Country of Origin: Turkey – Embodying the lavish Oushak rug style, this stately antique Turkish carpet features a stunning collection of delicate floral designs set in a grand palace-sized composition. The elegantly styled field contains a radiant grapefruit-pink medallion surrounded by ornamental pendants and a network of fluid arabesques highlighted by filamentous outlines. Softly colored rosettes and sweeping branches meander across the luxurious ecru field creating a delicate, richly detailed arabesque. The lavish botanical theme continues in the sumptuous borders that enclose the opulent field. Arching botehs, blushing rosettes and decorative palmettes adorn the elaborate compound borders while complementing the delicate color palette and botanical theme. Gently oxidized colors and low-contrast accents soften the elaborate floral decorations and amplify the luxurious Oushak style, which is perfectly suited for traditional decor built on a European model of elegance.
