Oushak / 17423

This Oushak antique rug, measuring 3' 1" x 12' 8", presents a long, restrained field animated by diagonal bands of blue and brown over a warm cream ground. Small stylised floral motifs are scattered throughout, while the border is handled with a rhythmic sequence of octagonal medallions in blue, ivory, and brown. The surface shows medium wear, with softened tones and a calm, timeworn finish that suits the rug’s quiet geometry. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the easy elegance and lifted palette often associated with Oushak weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
