Oushak / 14236

This Oushak antique rug, measuring 406 x 495 cm, balances an airy ivory ground with softened red, pale aqua, and warm tan ornament. The open centre is filled with scattered floral medallions, fine vine tracery, and a layered border that gives the composition structure without heaviness. Visible fading and light abrash soften the palette, while the medium distress lends a quiet, lived-in texture across the wool surface. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the understated scale and diffused colour typical of Oushak weaving, with a serene, heritage-rich presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
