Oushak / 14877

This Oushak antique rug measures 5' 0" x 6' 3" and carries the softened, timeworn presence that gives these weavings their quiet depth. A vivid red field is framed by navy and ivory borders, while the upper register shows a denser scatter of floral forms around a stepped prayer-niche composition. Light abrasion and fading temper the palette, allowing the wool surface to read as richly lived-in rather than overly crisp. Circa 1885 - 1900, the design balances clarity and wear with an understated rhythm that feels grounded, graphic, and enduring.
