Antique Oushak Rug in Red With Paisley Patterns, From Rug & Kilim

Hand-knotted in wool, an antique 13×16 Oushak rug from Turkey circa 1900-1910 – making way to Rug & Kilim’s antique collection.

On the Design:

The design is like a few of its period favoring more formal, traditional designs and even richer colors. Keen eyes will note a red field in particular underscoring paisley patterns in the pink and blue tones in the borders—much like the playful light pink seen in Oushaks of its period.

Admirers of the craft will appreciate that paisley rugs are some of the most special and collectible in antiques—known for being used by their weavers as a chance to exhibit skills. Specially observed in the repetition and fine detail of paisleys—a feat of a deft hand that set master weavers apart in any era.

Condition:

The antique Oushak rug further enjoys great condition for its age and lineage.
