Description
An early 20th century antique Ushak carpet from Western Anatolia with rich soft reds, blues and lovely green dyes. A handsome carpet in good pile all over.
One of the largest rug production areas since the Ottoman Empire, Ushak designs tend to be more open than Persian rugs and softer dyes are not uncommon. Ushak rugs and carpets were woven in the Anatolian highlands south of Istanbul where they used extremely soft wool and using the larger turkish knot made them weave more open designs than Persian carpets. They are increasingly desirable today due to their open designs and wonderful colours, thus making them easy to place in many different rooms.
