This antique Oushak carpet originates from Western Turkey and dates from 1880, created in the Anatolian style from wool and cotton. The piece exhibits an allover design showcasing the Tree of Life alongside paisley motifs, botanical vines, and palmette borders, rendered in mustard yellow, olive green, and terracotta red tones with a dark cream border. Medium to light wear is visible across the surface, reflecting its age. Practical in size at 290 cm by 402 cm, the carpet is suited for placement on the floor of a principal reception room or study to anchor an interior scheme. Traditional hand-knotted construction forms the foundation of this item, complemented by symmetrical knots that secure the detailed botanical arrangement. The rich colour palette and historical motifs align naturally with an English Country House aesthetic, offering both warmth and decorative interest to a living space. Regular placement beneath heavy furniture should be avoided to protect the pile, while standard rug care preserves the fabric over time.

FAQs

Oushak carpets originate from the town of Usak in Western Anatolia, Turkey, renowned since the fifteenth century for producing wool floor coverings featuring soft colour palettes and large-scale botanical designs.

These carpets are hand-knotted using high-grade hand-spun wool on a wool or cotton warp foundation, utilising Ghiordes symmetrical knots and natural plant-based dyes.

Authentic pieces display a supple weave with deliberate abrash colour variations, natural dye tones, soft pile, and characteristic large-scale floral, palmette, or medallion motifs.

The warm tones and organic motifs of an Oushak anchor living spaces by pairing effectively with minimalist modern furniture or period timber pieces.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar, rotate the rug periodically to ensure uniform exposure to light, and engage professional specialist conservators for deep cleaning.
