This antique Turkish Oushak rug from around 1910 features a spacious all-over trellis pattern of gentle geometric vines and stylized floral elements. The large-scale design creates an open, airy feel across the soft ivory field, while the gray border provides a calm frame with matching subtle motifs. The overall effect is elegant and understated, typical of early 20th-century Oushak pieces that bridge traditional and more modern tastes.
Oushak rugs are hand-knotted in western Turkey and prized for their soft wool, generous knot count, and durable construction. This example shows beautiful age-related patina and even wear, with the natural dyes giving a gentle, lived-in appearance. The transitional style makes it versatile for both classic and contemporary interiors.
With its impressive size and light palette, this rug works wonderfully as a centerpiece in large living rooms, dining areas, or open-plan spaces. It softens hard floors and adds warmth without overpowering the room. The sturdy wool pile holds up well to regular use while remaining comfortable underfoot.
