Antique Ushak Rug

19th century
Description

A really gorgeous and rare antique Ushak rug, woven in the late 19th century and around 135 years old, the dyes are exquisite.   With a soft teal, green background, pink border and vivid oranges, these are classical dyes from this Turkish region and this period of weaving.

The design is lovely and open and very easy on the eye, with stylised large floral palmettes and the simplistic vine border pattern.  The weave on Ushak rugs is generally rather coarse using bigger knotting than Persian rugs, as the wool is extremely soft, with a medium pile height on this rug.

Oushak rugs or Ushak depending on the spelling preference, 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 soft dyes are not uncommon.  Often younger Ushak rugs will be rich red in colour and use bolder geometric designs.

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 Turkey, these rugs are renowned for their silky wool, soft colour palettes, and large-scale floral or geometric medallion designs.

They are traditionally hand-knotted using local wool dyed with natural plant extracts on a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation.

Authentic pieces feature asymmetrical Turkish knots, a flexible hand-spun handle, natural colour abrash, and characteristic soft pastel tones rather than harsh chemical dyes.

The muted tones and transitional patterns allow these rugs to anchor contemporary living spaces, grounding minimalist furniture while adding warmth and texture.

Vacuum gently without a rotating beater bar, rotate periodically to ensure even wear, and clean spills immediately with cold water and a neutral wool detergent.
