Oushak / 11485

An Oushak with a pale ivory field and soft cream motifs rendered in faded ochre and blush, this piece reads as quietly architectural. The large-scale medallions and stepped corner reserves settle within a wide, subtly patterned border. The wool pile shows harmonious abrash and a luminous patina from even wear; medium distress softens the edges and lifts the surface texture. The composition feels expansive yet restrained, a testament to hand practice and time. Circa 1890 - 1910. Measures 9' 1" x 12' 0", an antique rug that balances scale, texture and a lived-in serenity.
