Rare Antique Ushak Carpet

19th century
Description

A really stunning and early ivory background antique Ushak carpet.  Woven in the mid to late 19th Century in Anatolia, western Turkey, these exquisite hand-woven carpets have been produced since the start of the Ottoman period (1300-1922).  The mid to late 19th century examples such as this became more open and decorative in design and were commissioned more for the Western market in the US and Europe and have since rivalled the look of the famous Ziegler carpets from Persia.

The colour and look of Ushak carpets with muted dyes and softer designs really appeal to todays room schemes too.  Easy to place in a room already decorated or to scheme with, fabrics can be chosen to work with a palette as subtle and beautiful as this carpet.  Some wear and low areas of pile are apparent on this decorative carpet, they could be improved if required by our expert workshop of restorers.  We love the look of this early Ushak and with the large border in green and combined with the saturated reds and golden yellows, making a truly desirable carpet.

If you would like to request a home visit to see this beautiful large, decorative antique Ushak carpet at home, it would be our pleasure to help you.  We love to travel nationwide, having visited private customers and interior designers all over the UK for the last 30 years.

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 have been produced since the Ottoman Empire era and are recognized by their large-scale floral motifs and soft colour palettes.

Traditional Ushak carpets are hand-knotted using high-grade wool on a wool or cotton warp and weft, often colored with natural vegetable dyes.

Genuine antique Ushak carpets feature distinct Ghiordes double knots, a slightly looser weave compared to Persian rugs, and characteristic pastel or terracotta tones combined with angular floral forms.

These versatile carpets ground contemporary minimalism or traditional schemes by adding subtle pattern, complementing neutral furniture, and providing texture underfoot.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating beater bar, rotate periodically to ensure even wear, and arrange professional hand-washing by a specialist rug conservator when deep cleaning is required.
