53642 Vintage Square Turkish Oushak Rug, 01'09 x 02'00.

This hand knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug exquisitely manifests the essence of biophilic design by merging natural elements with artisanal mastery, crafting a depiction reminiscent of a garden of paradise. At the heart of the rug, a central vase motif radiates an array of blooming floral sprigs, symbolizing the revered Tree of Life, which traditionally represents growth, immortality, and rebirth. This timeless symbol is artistically surrounded by a bevy of nature-inspired motifs, including mirrored pairs of eight-point stars, animal motifs, delicate diamond shapes, stylized florals and foliage, infusing this square Oushak rug with a profound sense of harmony and balance.

The rug's neutral beige field acts as a canvas, embellished with an intricate array of botanical and zoological motifs. Tulips and lilies mingle with stylized representations of ying-yang, birds, and horses, each element meticulously knotted to create a lively tableau. Rosettes and tribal symbols are sprinkled throughout, adding to the rug’s rich narrative and intricate detailing, inviting viewers to step closer and explore its depths.

Framing the lush central imagery is a sophisticated border pattern composed of meandering rosettes, encased further by simplistic thin guard borders that define and emphasize the rug’s meticulous craftsmanship. The navy blue backdrop of the main border not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also solidifies the rug's structure, providing a refined finish that echoes the tranquility of the inner design. This vintage Turkish Oushak rug is not only a decorative piece but also a portal to ancient traditions, bringing timeless beauty and a touch of the serene and the mystic to any modern living space.
