Oushak / 12578

A richly hued Oushak in wool, this antique rug presents a faded central medallion rendered in warm reds and golds against a neutral ground. The composition reads as a balanced medallion-and-corner schema with delicate palmettes and a scrolling foliate border, softened by time. Surface abrash and medium distress lend tactile depth and an easy, lived-in patina. The wool pile shows even wearing and frayed fringes that emphasize its age. Circa 1900 - 1920. Measurements: 4' 4" x 6' 6". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
