Description

This is a wonderful faded antique Ushak carpet with a gentle palette, ancient motifs a subtle design and exquisite colours.  The dusky pink border colours sits beautifully with the off white tones in the centre, and faded greens in the background with pale blue dyes too.  The design is delicate vines, leaves and central medallion.

Woven in the 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.

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

FAQs

Ushak carpets originate from the town of Usak in western Anatolia, Turkey, and have been produced since the 15th century, becoming globally renowned during the Ottoman Empire for their distinctive floral and geometric motifs.

Authentic pieces are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation warp and weft threads, often dyed using natural vegetable colorants that yield soft, muted hues over time.

Key indicators include irregularities in the weave and symmetry typical of hand craftsmanship, natural abrash colour variations within the wool, and the use of a symmetrical Ghiordes knot.

Their faded palettes and organic patterns allow these carpets to anchor contemporary spaces, pairing effectively with minimalist modern furniture or adding warmth to neutral, layered living rooms.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar, professional hand washing by textile conservators, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight to protect the natural dyes.
