Antique Ushak Carpet

1900 - 1920
Description

An early 20th century antique Ushak carpet, using vary red/pink tones, greens and muted pale blues for the border colour. A fantastic open pattern with geometric motifs and green leaf design, making these a beautiful decorative carpet to place in a variety of rooms.

There are lower areas of pile in the border and scattered in the main field, with some old restoration visible, the structure is strong and there is still lots of wool pile present on the majority of this 100 year old Ushak.  The price reflects the condition and it is a wonderful large antique carpet still in good useable order, supplied with our strong underlay.  A great price for a lovely piece.

Ushak's were woven in Western Anatolia which was one of the largest rug production areas since the Ottoman Empire.  Their designs tend to be more open than Persian rugs and use soft natural dyes. The faded green border colour works so well with the soft reds and muted golden tones.

Please request a home visit to see this beautiful antique Ushak carpet at home, we love to travel all over the UK, having visited clients and interior designers in private homes for the last 30 years.

Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

Ushak carpets, originating from the town of Usak in Western Anatolia, are traditional Turkish hand-knotted textiles produced since the fifteenth century, known for their distinct large-scale geometric designs, soft colour palettes, and relaxed knotting technique.

These carpets are constructed using hand-spun wool pile tied with symmetrical Ghiordes knots onto a wool or cotton foundation, featuring dyes historically derived from natural vegetable and plant sources.

Authentic examples feature supple hand-knotted wool construction, visible shade variations in natural dyes known as abrash, traditional palmette or star medallion motifs, and a soft, flexible handle.

Position the carpet as a central grounding element in a living space or dining area, pairing its rich hues with neutral wooden furniture or layered textile schemes.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush attachment, rotate the carpet periodically to ensure even foot-traffic wear, and arrange for professional low-moisture cleaning by a specialist textile conservator.
