Antique Ushak Carpet

£26,500    $33,998    €31,858
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.
