Antique Ushak Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

A square antique Ushak carpet from Western Anatolia with glorious soft reds, teal blues, golden yellow and green dyes.  Rare to find small Ushak rugs in this size in good order.  In excellent condition with a soft, lush wool pile and in original pile.

One of the largest rug production areas since the Ottoman Empire, Ushak designs tend to be more open than Persian rugs and softer dyes are not uncommon. Ushak rugs and carpets were woven in the Anatolian highlands south of Istanbul where they used extremely soft wool and using the larger Turkish knot made them weave more open designs than Persian carpets. They are increasingly desirable today due to their open designs and wonderful colours, thus making them easy to place in many different rooms.

Please request a home visit if you would like to view this antique Ushak rug in your own home.  We love to travel and would be very happy to show you this antique rug in situ and many more, to see which best suits your home.  You are very welcome to view this rug at our barn showroom too by appointment.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating from the town of Usak in Western Anatolia, these rugs are recognised for their silky wool construction, large-scale floral medallion motifs, and distinctive colour palettes developed during the Ottoman period.

Authentic Ushak rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for the pile, woven onto a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation using the traditional Ghiordes symmetrical knot technique.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural vegetable dye variations, a soft and flexible handle, subtle weave irregularity, and iconic design formats featuring angular palmettes, central medallions, and broad floral borders.

Position the rug to ground neutral seating arrangements, contrasting deep crimson and blue tones against natural wood furniture or polished stone flooring for balanced warmth and visual texture.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating beat bar, turn the rug annually to distribute wear evenly, and consult specialist textile restorers for periodic deep cleaning.
