This Oushak antique rug measures 282 x 406 cm and presents a softened, timeworn surface in wool with an elegant, understated rhythm. The open centre is surrounded by a layered border and slender floral ornament, blending red, cream, neutral tones, and traces of pale blue into a warm, mellow ground. Circa 1885 - 1900. Medium distress adds gentle fading and visible age, allowing the design to read with clarity while retaining a quietly worn, atmospheric character that feels deeply rooted in the Oushak tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
