Antique Oushak Turkey - Angora Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of Anatolian weaving tradition hails from the renowned workshops producing Oushak rugs. Known for their distinctive soft palette and grand scale designs, this piece, however, presents a more intimate format, focusing on subtle texture over bold ornamentation.
The colorway is particularly delicate, utilizing a sophisticated range of faded hues that lean heavily into the salmon coral pink color spectrum. The Angora wool foundation contributes to the luxurious, soft pile and the characteristic abrash, where subtle shifts in dye lot create a mesmerizing, atmospheric depth across the central field.
The composition is defined by a central mihrab arch, framed by borders featuring stylized, large-scale floral motifs rendered in cream and ivory. This prayer rug structure emphasizes the field, allowing the rich texture and color variation to dominate the visual experience, a hallmark of late 19th-century Turkish village weaving.
Preserved beautifully for over 140 years, this piece represents the pinnacle of late 19th-century antique rugs production. Its small scatter size makes it highly versatile for modern interiors, offering a historical anchor point that complements both traditional and contemporary design schemes.
