Oushak / 13421

This Oushak antique rug, 157 x 229 cm, is worked in a warm palette of red and pink, lifted by neutral and gold notes. The design settles into an easy allover field of floral forms, edged by a narrow border that keeps the composition measured and calm. In wool, with medium distress, it shows visible fading, softened contrast and an invitingly worn surface. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the easy balance and gentle palette associated with Oushak rugs, with the kind of timeworn character that reads as both grounded and expressive.
