Oushak / 14074

This Oushak antique rug measures 198 x 300 cm, with a softened red ground edged by cream, white and pale mint borders. Overscale floral medallions sit within an open field, while scrolling vines and blossom motifs trace a measured, decorative rhythm across the surface. The wool pile shows low distress, with light fading and a relaxed edge character that bring depth to the colour. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the calm symmetry and faded clarity often sought in Oushak weaving, where floral form is rendered with ease rather than precision.
