Antique Turkish Oushak Rug 43950

Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, Country of Origin: Turkey – This lovely and beautifully made antique Oriental rug – an Oushak piece made in Turkey  – is truly an achievement in rug-making. This fantastic piece possesses many of the qualities most sought after by collectors of such rugs, and would make a proud addition to any home. This runner from the Oushak region of Turkey features a finely-woven, evenly-colored field with a unique fragmented spandrel in a characteristically subdued color scheme. In addition to guard bands and cloud band borders, the geometric floral motifs resemble designs used by weavers in Azerbaijan and Armenia, who were refugees in the Ottoman Empire. All in all, this is a piece that is not to be missed. Its gorgeous design and magnificent composition make it not only a highly desirable piece, but a genuine work of art.
