Oushak / 15641

This Oushak antique rug measures 340 x 457 cm, with a faded, time-softened field that balances warm red-brown ground tones against muted grey, blue, and taupe ornament. The open composition layers delicate floral forms, angular vinework, and a restrained border sequence, creating a spacious and quietly rhythmic presence. Its medium distress reads as honest age, with fading and wear that soften the palette without losing the clarity of the drawing. Circa 1885 - 1905, it reflects the relaxed elegance associated with Oushak weaving, rendered here in wool with a gently worn, textural surface.
