76787 Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, 09'07 x 12'01.

Glowing like an ember drawn from the hearth of history, this hand-knotted wool antique Turkish Oushak rug is a poetic relic of Anatolia’s golden age. At its heart lies a grand cusped medallion, delicately rendered in pale sage tones with hints of saffron and rose, flowering with radiant symmetry. Its lobed form extends in regal rhythm, each point and flourish crowned with florals and feathery scrolls that bloom outward like an opening verse. This medallion—majestic yet tender—acts as both compass and crown, anchoring the eye in a realm of woven wonder.

The lovingly time-worn crimson red field unfurls around it like a velvet stage strewn with petals, alive with a tableau of botanical motifs—blooming rosettes, winding tendrils, and star-kissed florets dancing in rhythmic procession. Each element, from twirling palmettes to delicate vinery, seems to sway in harmony, their softness enhanced by a subtle abrash that speaks to the soul of hand-dyed wool and centuries of sunlight. Corner spandrels, bathed in gentle tones of parchment and gold, mirror the language of the medallion, their arabesques curling inward as if whispering secrets from the edges of the loom.

Framing this symphonic garden is a Tree of Life border, where stately cypress trees stand sentinel among blossoming urns and rooted vines. These vertical emblems, symbolic of eternal life and divine connection, create a rhythm of stillness and strength. The main border, rich in sage green and soft amber hues, is flanked by double inner and outer rectilinear meander guard bands, their continuous wave patterns echoing the ceaseless flow of life’s journey—cyclical, serene, and everlasting.

This Oushak masterpiece is not simply a floor covering—it is a story keeper. Each knot holds the echo of weaver’s hands and Anatolian winds, each hue recalls garden paths and palace corridors. As if stitched from the dreams of empires past, this woven wonder transforms space into memory, inviting us to tread softly across its poetic surface—where every petal and pattern sings of time, tenderness, and timeless artistry.
