Antique Oushak Turkish Medallion Coral / Salmon / Pink 1880s Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional Turkish Oushak exemplifies the grand scale and refined aesthetic that defined late 19th-century Anatolian weaving. Characterized by its monumental central medallion and corner spandrels, the design reflects a sophisticated approach to classical Persianate structure, adapted for the European market. It stands as a prime example of high-quality antique rugs from this prolific weaving center. The palette is particularly striking, featuring deeply saturated coral and salmon red contrasted against a field of soft, faded taupe. The use of natural dyes has resulted in a beautiful abrash, giving the surface a shimmering, textural quality that only age can impart.
