Antique Ushak Carpet

19th century
Description

Woven in the late 19th Century in Anatolia, western Turkey, these exquisite hand-woven Ushak 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 is one of the best antique Ushak carpets we have seen in over 30 years!  With a dense, soft wool pile all over, no areas of wear or restoration, it is as near to being in perfect condition as can be! With the rarer pale green background and muted dusky pink border, one of the best colour combinations for these antique Turkish carpets.

Our home visits are available nationwide, we love showing our carpets and rugs in situ. Please contact us to make an appointment in your preferred way.  This exceptional antique Ushak can also be viewed at our barn showroom in Crondall, Surrey by appointment too.

FAQs

Ushak carpets, originating from the town of Usak in western Turkey, are fine hand-knotted wool textiles that became prominent during the Ottoman Empire. They are distinguished by their silky wool quality, large-scale floral medallion designs, and muted pastel colour palettes.

Traditionally, Ushak carpets are hand-knotted using high-grade local wool dyed with natural plant extracts on a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation. They utilize the Turkish or Ghiordes double knot, resulting in a slightly lower knot density that allows for larger, more fluid design motifs.

Authentic antique Ushak carpets exhibit soft natural abrash variations in colour, flexible hand-spun wool backings, and slightly irregular geometric detailing. Examining the reverse side reveals uneven hand-tying rather than the uniform, rigid pattern of machine-made reproductions.

Their muted tones and soft palette make Ushak carpets suitable for bridging traditional and contemporary spaces. They anchor living rooms or dining areas under neutral upholstered furniture, allowing the subtle pinks, greens, and ochres to harmonize with surrounding decor.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush helps remove surface dirt without pulling fibers. Professional cleaning should be performed by an antique textile specialist using non-alkaline solutions, and a quality rug pad should be placed underneath to prevent wear.
