Antique Oushak Wool Rug - C. 1900-1920 - 2'8" X 8'10"

Burnished by time and imbued with history, our unrivaled collection of vintage and antique rugs has been curated with an artist's eye for uncommon beauty, character, quality and provenance. Crafted by generations of nomadic weavers, villagers and historic workshops, each rug is made by hand and tells a unique story of a place and a people, expressing their craft in one-of-a-kind creations. From the royal carpets of Agra to masterful French Aubussons, the jewel motifs of classical Persians to the geometry of Turkish Oushaks, our singular rugs represent the world's finest rug-making traditions.

Oushak rugs originated in the western Turkey town of Uşak, a major weaving center that dates to the 15th century. Known for their large-scale medallions and soft, faded palette, the designs are derived from Anatolian and Ottoman art and architecture. Hand knotted from silky, luminous wool, Oushak rugs are characterized by soft, luxurious pile and a distinctive, velvety texture. Traditional Oushak weaving emphasizes open, spacious compositions and a relaxed, flowing aesthetic, making them highly prized for their combination of artisanal craftsmanship and timeless design heritage.
