Oushak / 14236

This Oushak antique rug in wool, measuring 13' 4" x 16' 3", balances an airy ivory field with softened red, pale aqua, and warm tan ornament. The open composition is animated by scattered floral medallions, delicate vine work, and a restrained multi-border frame that keeps the design calm and expansive. Subtle fading and light abrash lend the surface a timeworn luminosity, while the medium distress preserves the rug's drawn detail and gentle irregularities. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the relaxed elegance and hushed colour interplay often associated with Oushak weaving.
