Rare Antique Ushak Carpet

19th century
Description

A rare pale green antique Ushak carpet, using delicate pinks and orange tones for the flowers and stars, combined with a light varying green border colour.  From the late 19th century, this circa 1890 Turkish carpet is why these decorative carpets from Anatolia are so desirable and collectable.  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 use soft natural dyes. The faded green border colour works so well with the soft reds and muted golden tones.

In general very good pile, some slightly lower areas, with minimal old restoration, a very old and handsome looking rare Ushak ideal to be placed in a room or to build a scheme around.

Please Request a Home Visit to see this beautiful Ushak carpet at home, we love to travel, having visited clients and interior designers all over the UK for the last 30 years.

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 carpets originate from the town of Usak in western Anatolia, known since the fifteenth century for producing soft-toned, hand-knotted wool rugs with large-scale geometric and floral motifs.

These carpets are constructed using natural wool pile hand-knotted onto a wool or cotton warp and weft, often coloured with vegetable dyes.

Authentic pieces feature coarse Ghiordes symmetrical knots, a flexible weave structure, muted colour palettes, and characteristic central medallions or repetitive angular floral patterns.

An Ushak carpet functions as a foundational floor covering, complementing neutral contemporary furniture, minimalist timber joinery, or traditional upholstered seating.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush attachment, rotate regularly to ensure balanced wear, absorb liquid spills immediately with an un-dyed cloth, and utilise specialist rug cleaning services when required.
