Antique Oushak Turkish Rug 44500

Antique Angora Oushak, Turkey, Late 19th Century – Bold cerulean blue medallions decorated with fiery red palmettes create a formal allover pattern that is linked by delicate chains of poly chromatic trefoil leaflets. The boldly colored medallions and palmettes with their complex angular contours are offset beautifully by the subtly abrashed papyrus-colored field. Strong cerulean blue borders decorated with ornate rosettes and architectural pillars counterbalance the subtly colored field. Secondary borders embellished with dainty segmented rosettes and fan-shaped floral motifs continue the splendid color scheme, which includes warm tomato reds, cool cerulean blues and calming earth-tone neutrals. Created in the late 19th century, this magnificent antique Angora Oushak carpet features a sophisticated, formal composition rendered in an elegant selection of nuanced hues.
