Oushak / 19417

This Oushak antique rug measures 3' 9" x 4' 10" and carries a grounded, time-softened palette of red, blush pink, gold, and neutral cream. A stepped prayer-niche form anchors the composition, while layered borders of geometric and floral detail create a warm architectural frame. The field shows pronounced abrash and gentle fading that deepen its tactile presence without diminishing the clarity of the drawing. Circa 1920 - 1935, it reflects the nuanced, softly worn character associated with earlier Oushak weaving, with low distress and a calm, lived-in surface that feels both refined and deeply textural.
