Oushak / 12522

An Oushak in wool, this rug carries a deep red ground punctuated by a generous gold medallion with soft pink and neutral colour notes. A muted grey inner field and floral arabesques define the centre; a broad palmette border frames the composition. Low distress and even pile preserve the motifs, while gentle abrash and a slightly worn nap lend a tactile, time-softened surface. The overall effect is quiet and material, a studied balance of scale and colour. Circa 1940 - 1960. Size 140 x 193 cm, this antique rug reads as a measured expression of craft and age.
