Antique Ushak Carpet

19th century
Sold 19 December 2025 · Farnham Antique Carpets
This “Antique Ushak Carpet” found a buyer.

It was listed by Farnham Antique Carpets. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

Woven in the late 19th Century in Anatolia (Western Turkey), these exquisite hand-woven carpets have been produced since the start of the Ottoman period (1300-1922).  The mid to late 19th century examples such as this became more open and decorative in design and were commissioned more for the Western market in the US and Europe and have since rivalled the look of the famous Ziegler carpets from Persia.

In near perfect original condition, this stunning antique Ushak carpet has a dense wool pile all over. No areas of wear apparent and retains its original fringes, which are lower in some places, but all original.  The muted dyes are quite spectacular, woven around 1880-1890 these faded burnt orange with pinkish hues used for the background are a wonderful base colour.  With golden yellows, hints of pink, pale blues and sage greens used for this symmetrical pattern of leaves and floral patterns.  A main border in natural wool colour, which is a shade of off-white to grey tones, and with a large scale floral and vine design.  A rare squarish size too, this is a really beautiful example and we are excited to have recently added this to our inventory.

If you would like to reserve this carpet and arrange a viewing, please make contact in your preferred way, we would be happy to help you.

Ushak carpets originate from the town of Usak in western Turkey, which has been a major centre for carpet production since the Ottoman Empire.

These carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using wool for the pile, warp, and weft, often incorporating natural vegetable dyes to achieve their distinct colour palettes.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit characteristic oversized floral motifs, a looser knot count compared to Persian carpets, and a distinct terracotta or muted colour cast resulting from age and vegetable dyeing.

An antique carpet can anchor a contemporary living space by adding historical texture and warmth, pairing well with neutral upholstery and minimalist architectural elements.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional washing by a specialist in antique textiles, and keeping the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading.
