Oushak / 16931

This Oushak antique rug measures 9' 8" x 12' 5" and carries a softly aged, tonal surface that lets its drawn motifs emerge in quiet layers. A faded central medallion anchors the composition, surrounded by scrolling florals, corner reserves, and a narrow border with delicately worn ornament. The wool pile has a mellow hand and a clouded patina, with medium distress that deepens the sense of age without overwhelming the design. Circa 1925 - 1945, it reflects the calm balance and painterly restraint often associated with the Oushak tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
