This large antique Turkish Oushak wool carpet from Western Turkey dates to 1900. It features a pale blue field layered with terracotta, gold, and cherry red medallion motifs, alongside angular palmettes, geometric foliage, and an off-white milky floral border. The piece displays fairly heavy wear, a slightly uneven fade on one side, and has been lightly cleaned with any holes fixed or closed. Measuring 302 cm by 424 cm, it is designed as an area rug with an English Country House style. Suitable for grand reception rooms, spacious living spaces, or bedrooms, this carpet anchors traditional and eclectic interiors with its generous scale and faded warmth. The durable wool and cotton construction makes it practical for areas with regular foot traffic in a home today.

FAQs

Oushak rugs originate from the town of Usak in Western Anatolia, Turkey, a major centre of carpet weaving since the fifteenth century. These rugs are historically renowned for their soft colour palettes, large-scale floral medallion patterns, and relaxed weave structure.

Oushak carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation. They feature symmetrical knots, resulting in a flexible weave density that creates a soft texture underfoot.

Authentic antique Oushaks feature natural dye variations known as abrash, soft subdued tones, and a flexible hand-knotted backing with visible knot structure. The motifs typically include large star or medallion designs with angular palmettes.

A worn antique carpet grounds a contemporary or classic scheme by adding textural depth and low-contrast colour. Designers frequently place large Oushak carpets beneath neutral upholstery in living areas or beneath dining sets to anchor the space.

Antique wool carpets require gentle suction-only vacuuming without a rotating turn-beater bar to protect delicate fibres. Professional cleaning should be handled by specialists in historic hand-knotted textiles, and a quality rug pad should always be placed underneath.
