Antique Ushak Carpet

1900 - 1920
Description

A square antique Ushak carpet from Western Anatolia with glorious soft reds and green dyes.  Rare to find small Oushak rugs this size in good order.

One of the largest rug production areas since the Ottoman Empire, Ushak designs tend to be more open than Persian rugs and softer dyes are not uncommon. Ushak rugs and 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 open designs and wonderful colours, thus making them easy to place in many different rooms.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

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 Western Anatolia, Ushak carpets are renowned for their soft wool pile, geometric medallion motifs, and rich dye palettes that date back to the Ottoman Empire.

These carpets are hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun sheep wool woven onto a wool yarn foundation, dyed with natural plant and mineral pigments.

Authentic pieces exhibit subtle colour variations known as abrash, gentle wool pile wear, hand-bound selvedges, and slight natural asymmetries in the knotting structure.

A bold red Ushak carpet serves as an anchoring focal point; pair it with neutral upholstery, polished dark wood furniture, or modern minimalist elements to complement its intricate pattern.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush bar, rotate periodically to equalise foot traffic, and consult a professional specialist for deep cleaning.
