Oushak / 18299

This Oushak antique rug measures 399 x 490 cm, with an all-over lattice of floral forms and geometric medallions set against a saturated red ground. Dark navy outlines and a narrow, patterned border bring definition, while the worn surface softens the contrast and adds depth. Woven in wool, it shows low distress, scattered fading, and a visible abrasion mark that underscore its aged character. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the restrained balance and tactile richness often associated with Oushak weaving, with colour that feels both vivid and timeworn. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
