Woven in wool with a supple handle and soft, luminous surface, the rug exemplifies the relaxed elegance of Oushak weaving from Western Anatolia.

The allover design is rendered in large-scale stylized floral motifs and abstracted palmettes, with delicate vinery and leaf accents scattered throughout. A narrow guard stripe frames the wide main border, which carries a continuous botanical scroll. The subtle abrash across the field and gentle wear throughout give the rug a graceful, time-softened appearance.

Versatile in its coloration and composition, this antique Turkish Oushak carpet makes an ideal foundation for both traditional and modern interiors, lending warmth, movement, and character to any space.
