Antique Kilim – Oushak Room Size Wool Coral Rug, Circa Date: 1940s. This magnificent example of a Turkish Oushak textile is characterized by its robust, hand-spun wool construction and vibrant palette. As a traditional flat-woven kilim, it offers a textural lightness distinct from pile carpets, making it an ideal choice for layering or high-traffic areas.
The dominant field color is a rich, saturated coral, providing a striking foundation for the geometric motifs. This particular shade, often bordering on salmon or deep rose, places it among our most sought-after coral color rugs. The bold color story and tribal geometry are hallmarks of the finest examples found within our collection of antique rugs.
The design employs an intricate allover pattern composed of repeating, stylized hexagonal and diamond medallions. These large-scale elements are rendered in contrasting tones of deep indigo, teal, and ochre, creating a dynamic visual rhythm across the entire field. The complexity of the repeating motifs speaks to the weaver’s skill and the enduring aesthetic traditions of Western Anatolia.
Woven during the 1940s, this piece retains the authenticity of mid-century Anatolian weaving while offering the scale required for contemporary interiors. Its substantial dimensions classify it as a true room size rug, capable of anchoring a large living space or dining area with its commanding presence and historic charm.
