Antique Large Oushak Turkish Floral Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: Turkey, Circa Date: 1890s. This magnificent example of late 19th-century weaving originates from Western Anatolia, showcasing the sophisticated design traditions inherent in Turkish rugs of this period. The aesthetic of this piece is characteristic of the grand revival style associated with Oushak rugs, featuring an expansive, open field designed to complement palatial European interiors. The subtle, tone-on-tone central medallion anchors the composition without overwhelming the rich Coral field color. As a genuine example of antique rugs, its wool quality and natural dyes speak to a bygone era of craftsmanship. A striking palette defines this piece, dominated by a warm Coral field contrasted sharply by a wide, luminous saffron border.
