Oushak / 13225

This Oushak antique rug measures 94 x 348 cm and offers a long, slender composition in wool, with a red ground tempered by cream, white, muted gold, olive, and blue notes. The field is organised around a vertical floral vine, palmettes, and small rosettes, while a layered border encloses the design with measured clarity. Circa 1880 - 1895, it shows low distress, with softened pile, light wear, and a gently mellowed surface that lends depth to the drawing. The overall effect is calm, graphic, and age-softened, with the character of an antique rug that remains expressive and grounded.
