Antique Oushak -Ghoirdes Turkish Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1820s. This exceptional piece is a testament to early Anatolian weaving, combining the regional characteristics of Oushak and Ghoirdes. The finely knotted structure and subtly faded palette immediately identify it as a significant example of antique rugs. Woven in the classic prayer rug format, the central field features a pronounced mihrab arch, which is framed by spandrels filled with intricate stylized designs. The traditional design elements inherent to Oushak rugs are evident in the borders, which utilize multiple guard stripes to create visual depth. The color story is defined by its remarkable age and natural dye fading. The central ground is dominated by a rich, striated golden hue, placing this piece firmly within the category of brown earth tone color rugs.
