Antique Oushak Hallway Runner Angora Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the grand scale and softened palette characteristic of late 19th-century Anatolian weaving. Oushak production during this period adapted traditional designs for the Western market, resulting in highly decorative antique rugs that remain coveted by designers and collectors today. The central field is dominated by a mesmerizing, striated Angora Blue, a sophisticated shade achieved through masterful use of natural dyes that transitions beautifully under light. This deep, yet muted, tone provides a striking counterpoint to the luminous apricot and saffron hues of the main border. Collectors often seek out these specific blue color rugs for their ability to anchor a space with both color and historical depth.
