51778 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 03'02 x 05'05. 

This vintage Turkish Oushak rug is a stunning representation of traditional craftsmanship and vibrant artistry, woven entirely by hand from soft wool. The central field of this Turkish masterpiece is dominated by a rich, crimson background, highlighted by an intricate diamond medallion in hues of blue and ivory. This medallion is surrounded by a symphony of floral and geometric motifs, each meticulously crafted to showcase the rug's deep cultural heritage and the weaver's skill.

Around the central design, a lively array of secondary colors—magenta, green, and gold—enhance the visual appeal, bringing a youthful vibrancy to the traditional patterns. These colors are not just decorative but are strategically placed to create a balanced aesthetic that captivates and delights the viewer. The precision of the motifs within the borders and the field reflects a mastery of rug-making techniques passed down through generations.

The borders of the rug are equally elaborate, featuring a succession of intricate barber pole guard bands that frame the central composition. The inner ivory border is filled repeating repeating tribal motifs while a classic running water outer border adds the finishing touch. The crispness of these designs against the softer background enhances the rug's dimensional quality and draws attention to its detailed craftsmanship.

This colorful Oushak rug not only serves as a beautiful floor covering but also as a piece of art that tells a story through its patterns and colors. It's an ideal choice for anyone looking to add a touch of historical richness and colorful allure to their home decor. Whether placed in a living room, study, or hallway, this Oushak rug will bring warmth, culture, and a hint of mystique to any space.
