Antique Ushak Carpet

19th century

Sold by Farnham Antique Carpets

Description

An amazing early antique Ushak carpet, with the most delightful palette of natural dyes. The faded greens work so well with the muted pink to apricot background colour, off-whites and rich yellow tones complete the colours. Woven with a very open drawing with nice symmetry to the design, hand-woven around 1880 by skilled Turkish weavers in Ushak, Western Anatolia.

We offer the service of viewing any of our carpets & rugs in-situ in London, Surrey, Hampshire the UK & Europe by appointment. Try saving carpets and rugs to your saved items to view later by clicking the heart icon, then you can print your list or request a home visit.

Ushaks were woven in Western Anatolia which was one of the largest rug production areas since the Ottoman Empire. Their designs tend to be more open than Persian rugs and soft dyes are not uncommon. Often younger Ushaks or Oushaks will be rich red in colour and use bolder geometric designs. This Anatolian carpet has an almost contemporary feel to it and would work in a modern space as well as traditional. We clean every carpet before offering it for sale and make sure the ends and fringes are secured. A decorative subtle piece ideal for a soft scheme.
