The strong red field has a wandering lozenge lattice punctuated with various eccentric palmettes, leaving plenty of open space. The quarter corner pieces descend from classical period Ushaks. The informality continues in the border with attempted split arabesques and funky palmettes. The unusual size and design points to a special client for this one-of-a-kind circa 1900 west Turkish gallery carpet.

Bring rich color and historic elegance into your space with this remarkable Antique Turkish Oushak rug, hand-knotted in western Anatolia in the early 1900s. Showcasing a deep scarlet red background accented by flowing palmette motifs, this impressive antique Turkish room-size rug creates a dramatic yet refined foundation for any interior.

The antique arts and crafts rug design features large decorative palmettes arranged across an open field, giving the pattern a sense of movement while maintaining balance and harmony. The bold red ground adds warmth and depth, while the softly contrasting details introduce visual interest without overwhelming the space. This combination make antique rugs like this equally striking in both classic and modern settings.

Woven entirely from natural wool, this antique piece offers a plush yet resilient surface that has aged beautifully over time. The wool pile has developed a subtle patina that enhances the richness of the colors and adds character that only comes from decades of use and careful preservation. The hand-knotted construction ensures both durability and a luxurious feel underfoot.

Antique Turkish Oushak rugs are admired for their generous scale, artistic motifs, and relaxed elegance, and this piece reflects that tradition perfectly. Whether used to anchor a seating area, define a dining space, or serve as the centerpiece of a large room, this antique Turkish Oushak rug brings timeless beauty, warmth, and authenticity into your home.
