Antique Oushak Small Scatter Size Wool Coral Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional Anatolian weaving hails from the storied Oushak region, renowned for producing some of the most enduring and collectible antique rugs of the early 20th century. It presents a robust, tightly woven structure typical of the period's village production.

The field is dominated by a rich, saturated madder red, beautifully offset by secondary motifs rendered in pale pink, cream, and subtle slate blue accents. The overall effect is a striking presentation within the coral color rugs category, utilizing natural dyes to achieve a remarkable depth and longevity that has mellowed gracefully over time.

The central design features a dense, repeating arrangement of highly stylized, shield-like medallions, creating a mesmerizing allover pattern. These geometric and symbolic motifs, characteristic of regional weaving traditions, eschew the grand scale of court carpets for a more intimate, folkloric sensibility.

Woven in a versatile small scatter size, this piece offers immediate utility for entryways, bedside placement, or as a vibrant accent in a curated space. Its robust wool pile and complex, multi-band border system confirm its quality as a fine example of early 20th-century Turkish craftsmanship. See less
