Oushak / 16376

This Oushak antique rug, 348 x 401 cm, is woven in wool with a softened palette of ivory, cream, warm beige, pale gold, muted rust, and pale aqua. The field is open and lightly patterned, with small floral motifs dispersed across the surface and a measured border structure that lends definition without heaviness. Medium distress is visible in the faded tones, worn texture, and softened outer edges, all of which contribute to its settled character. Circa 1910 - 1930, it holds the airy drawing and understated ornament associated with Oushak rugs, expressed here with a particularly quiet, timeworn ease.
