Antique Oushak Small Scatter Size Angora Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exquisite example of 19th-century Anatolian weaving showcases the grand scale and soft palette characteristic of the finest Oushak antique rugs production. Its rarity is enhanced by the use of luxurious Angora wool, giving the pile a unique sheen and depth. The central field presents a striking, subtly variegated shade of oxidized teal, framed by a distinct mihrab arch. This unusual color choice provides a serene counterpoint to the warmer tones of the primary border, making it a compelling piece for collectors seeking sophisticated blue color rugs. Surrounding the central niche, the wide main border is rendered in soft terracotta and apricot hues, featuring stylized palmettes and large, open medallions.
