On the Design:

A meticulously balanced allover design featuring geometric medallions arranged in a precise grid pattern against a luminous golden-ivory field. The field showcases three distinct medallion motifs that alternate in horizontal registers—central diamond-form medallions with angular articulation are complemented by more elaborate palmette-derived medallions that create visual rhythm across the surface. Particularly noteworthy is the carpet's exceptional monochromatic palette—a restrained range of warm golden beige and amber hues. This deliberate color restraint reflects the refined design sensibility that emerged in Oushak workshops during the early 20th century, when more subtle coloration began to supplant the bolder palettes of earlier periods.

The border employs the classical Oushak structure with a primary border featuring an elegant reciprocal pattern complemented by secondary borders that provide perfect transition from field to edge. This carpet represents the sophisticated minimalist aesthetic that made Oushak carpets particularly compatible with both traditional and modern interior design. The deliberate restraint in both pattern and color creates a textile of exceptional versatility and refinement—proving why these carpets became essential elements in the most distinguished interiors throughout Europe and America during the early 20th century.
