Antique Turkish Oushak Carpet, Circa 1890
ABOUT
Oushak lies in the Western part of modern Turkey where there is a long traditional of carpet weaving going back to the early Ottoman period of the 16th century. This lovely carpet draws from that tradition. It is a lovely piece composed of a turquoise field of largescale palmettes and other stylised floral ornaments arranged in an all-over design. This is framed by a very pretty coral border with elegantly spaced geometric motifs. The field colours are dominated by the aquamarine, golds and greens. The overall impression is very harmonious, decorative and stylish. It is rare to find an Oushak carpet with these qualities in such a sweet small carpet size. Professionally cleaned in recent times.
