Oushak / 12997

This Oushak antique rug measures 3' 0" x 11' 6" and carries the relaxed elegance associated with the category. A teal-blue field sets off coral, saffron, ivory, and warm red motifs arranged in a long, rhythmic composition, while the border holds the design with small floral repeats and a softly defined frame. The wool surface shows low distress, with age-softened colour and subtle wear that lend depth without interrupting the pattern. Circa 1880 - 1895, it feels balanced, graphic, and grounded in a quiet ornamental tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
