Oushak / 12232

This Oushak presents a serene medallion composition in a warm neutral field, the red border and cream accents mellowed by age. Floral border motifs and stepped spandrels remain legible through soft abrash and an even, worn pile, the wool showing thoughtful patina. Medium distress and gentle edge fray lend character without compromising the overall harmony. An antique rug of considerable presence, it measures 312 x 391 cm and reads as a quietly considered, tactile object. Circa 1900 - 1920. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
