Antique Ushak Kilim

1900 - 1920
Description

Ushak's were woven in the Anatolian highlands south of Istanbul, they are famous for producing wool carpets and rugs, rarely weaving kilims and scarcely seen in these larger sizes.  Stunning geometric pale blue medallion design with beautiful interesting corner spandrels each filled with colourful floral motifs in an array of fun colours.  The pale green border with flowing ribbon design is a fabulous natural dye, and an expensive colour to produce, as green required double dyeing, as this colour was not obtained from one source.

Condition is dazzling! A fine weave and a brilliant decorative kilim which would brighten and enhance any room.

We are happy to reserve this wonderful Ushak kilim for you, and you can arrange either a home viewing or to see it at our barn showroom in Crondall, Surrey.

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.
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.
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.

Ushak kilims originate from the Usak region in Western Anatolia, renowned since the Ottoman period for flatweave textiles featuring bold geometric medallions, vibrant dye palettes, and traditional regional motifs.

These carpets are handwoven using natural wool yarns on vertical or horizontal looms, employing a slit-weave technique where colour blocks create distinct geometric designs without a tufted pile.

Authentic historical examples feature hand-spun wool, subtle shade variations in vegetable dyes known as abrash, flexible hand-bound selvedges, and intricate geometric or stylized floral iconography.

A colourful flatweave rug can be layered over neutral natural-fibre carpeting, positioned to anchor understated modern furniture, or mounted on a wall as a decorative textile hanging.

Vacuum gently without a rotary beater bar, rotate periodically to ensure balanced wear, blot liquid spills immediately with an absorbent dry cloth, and utilise specialist rug restorers for deep cleaning.
