Antique Ushak Carpet

19th century
Description

A very soft and muted palette on this antique Ushak carpet, woven with off-white un-dyed wool combined with a light green border and soft pinkish tones ,this really is a wonderful decorative carpet.  Dating from the late 19th century, the condition is extremely good, as this carpet has a medium wool pile height all over.  Recently back from our workshop it has been professionally cleaned and ends/fringes and sides have been tidied up where necessary.  It is ready to be used on the floor for another 100 plus years.

Ushak carpets 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 often softer palette than Persian carpets, thus making them easy to place in a drawing room, bedroom or study. With larger motifs and more open designs than finer Persian carpets, combined with gentle colours they are increasingly popular to use to build a scheme around or place in an already decorated room.

By requesting a home visit, we will happily show you this antique Ushak in your own home at a convenient time on a day of your choosing.  We frequently travel all over the UK showing our collection of antique and contemporary carpets to private clients and interior designers.

Alternatively book in a showroom visit, we are open Monday to Saturday by appointment.

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 city of Usak in Western Anatolia, these carpets are noted for their large-scale floral designs, soft palette, and hand-knotted wool construction that dates back to the Ottoman era.

Authentic Ushak carpets are hand-knotted using high-quality wool spun on a wool or cotton foundation, coloured with natural plant-based and mineral dyes.

Authentic examples feature Ghiordes double knots, a slightly loose weave compared to Persian carpets, soft muted colours, and characteristic large angular central medallions with stylized palmettes.

The muted tones and grand scale of an Ushak carpet complement both English Country House interiors and modern minimalist spaces, providing warmth, texture, and subtle colour without overpowering the decor.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush bar, rotate the carpet annually to ensure even wear, and address spills immediately with a clean dry cloth before seeking professional hand-washing services.
