19th Century Anatolian Oushak Rug

Anatolian Oushak carpets became renowned and highly sought after in the West during the 19th Century. This particular European weaving has borrowed design elements characteristic of Oushak carpets and rendered them in geometric forms, creating an altogether unique and interesting composition which stands apart from other works of its period. Featuring a bold, graphic drawing and deep richness of colour, with an intense red field together with greens, muted gold, and a sophisticated grey-purple around the central motif, this exquisite design marries the aesthetic sensibilities of turn-of-the-century Europe with the forms and patterns of the East, making for a unique, one-of-a-kind work. This piece has been retained in very good practical condition for everyday use. An eye-catching carpet perfect for a variety of interiors and furnishing styles.
