Description

Wow! This Ushak is a true delight for the eyes! The design and colour palette are quite magnificent, full of early dyes from the late 19th century with a wide border using a fabulous large leaf design.  The gorgeous pale green central motif with flame like golden leaves surrounding it all on an off-white to light grey tone background.  The pale blues and greens are a particular highlight and would be wonderful to scheme fabrics with for a room.  Please view all the additional images to see the colours up close, but really this carpet needs to be viewed with the naked eye, as it looks better in the flesh so to speak.  If you would like to request a home visit or showroom visit we would love to show it to you soon.

Ushak carpets and rugs were woven in the Anatolian highlands south of Istanbul where they used extremely soft wool and using the larger Turkish knot made them weave more open designs than Persian carpets. They are increasingly desirable today due to their sometimes softer palette such as this stunning piece, than Persian carpets, thus making them easy to place in a drawing room, bedroom or under a dining table for example.

Date of Manufacture

Farnham Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Ushak Carpet to the 1880s.

FAQs

Ushak carpets are traditional hand-knotted rugs originating from the town of Usak in western Turkey, renowned for their distinctive motifs, muted colour palettes, and historical significance in European and international trade.

These carpets are traditionally constructed using hand-spun wool for the pile, foundation warp, and weft, often utilizing natural vegetable dyes derived from plants, roots, and insects to achieve their characteristic soft tonality.

Authentic pieces are identified by examining the knot density, the natural irregularities in the hand-spun wool, the organic ageing of vegetable-dyed colours, and the presence of characteristic medallion or all-over floral designs typical of the region.

An antique Ushak carpet can anchor a contemporary living space by introducing texture, history, and warmth, pairing well with both minimalist modern furniture and traditional architectural details.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-cleaning when necessary, avoiding direct exposure to harsh sunlight, and using a breathable rug underlay to prevent sliding and fibre wear.
