Oushak / 14117

This Oushak antique rug, measuring 485 x 726 cm, is defined by a warm red field balanced with neutral, cream, and white tones, and subtle touches of muted green and teal. The composition centres on scrolling floral vines and palmette forms, enclosed by a layered border of repeating cartouches and delicate ornament. Its low distress lends a softened surface and a quietly timeworn presence, with slight irregularity at the edges. Circa 1915 - 1940, it captures the relaxed symmetry and refined character often found in classic Oushak weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
