Oushak / 11040

An Oushak in wool with a pale neutral field and an off-white ground, composed of repeating rosettes, star-like medallions and small palmettes framed by a subdued floral border. At 196 x 295 cm the piece reads calm and considered; the medium distress creates a soft surface and even abrash that emphasises character over perfection. The palette favours muted tones and a quiet patina that speaks to long use and considered care. This antique rug carries a restrained, tactile presence and subtle variations across the weave. Circa 1900 - 1930. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
