Bold Tribal Antique Light Blue Turkish Hand Knotted Wool Pile Medallion Oushak Rug

$18,800.00

Antique Turkish Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: Turkey, Circa Date: 1890s. This magnificent late 19th-century weaving exemplifies the grand decorative aesthetic typical of Oushak production. The oversized, softly rendered motifs and expansive scale are hallmarks of the finest Turkish rugs created for the European and American markets during this period. The design centers on a spectacular scalloped central medallion rendered in rich madder red and olive green, contrasting sharply against the serene, pale blue field. The corners feature matching quarter-spandrels, framing the composition and anchoring the overall symmetry. The field is sparsely populated with stylized floral elements and geometric devices, allowing the expansive ground color to dominate.
