Oushak / 17486

This Oushak antique rug measures 18' 6" x 18' 7", woven in wool with a soft neutral field of white, cream, beige, and taupe. Its all-over composition layers geometric medallions and botanical forms within a finely articulated border system, giving the surface a quiet, settled rhythm. The drawing has softened with age, and the palette reads warmly faded rather than flat. Visible creasing and moderate wear lend the piece a lived-in presence. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the relaxed elegance associated with classic Oushak rugs. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
