Oushak / 11485

An Oushak with a pale ivory ground and soft cream motifs, this rug carries an even, worn patina and subtle colour variation. Overscale medallions and stepped corner forms sit within a generous border of simplified floral cartouches. The wool pile retains a soft, tactile surface while medium distress creates gentle abrash and softened outlines. Time has muted contrasts and revealed a warm, quiet character. Circa 1900 - 1920. Measures 277 x 366 cm, an antique rug that reads as both architectural and quietly domestic. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
