Oushak / 19419

This Oushak antique rug in wool measures 264 x 361 cm, with a faded palette of pink, neutral ivory, and soft red that lends the surface a lifted, timeworn character. Overscale floral motifs, scrolling vines, and a subdued central medallion sit within a composition whose border is softened almost into the field. High distress is evident in the worn pile, delicate tonal shifts, and frayed edges, all of which deepen its patina. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the calm, decorative language long associated with Oushak weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
