Description
Woven in the late 19th century this is a rare blue/grey toned antique Ushak rug, with gold tones, soft pinks and reds, we can even see some sage greens in the design.
The design is lovely and open and very easy on the eye, with stylised large floral palmettes and the simplistic vine border pattern. The weave on Ushak rugs is generally rather coarse using bigger knotting than Persian rugs, as the wool is extremely soft, with a good pile height on this rug. Some minimal lower pile in places, but still a very durable and decorative rug – we supply excellent anti-slip underlay with every rug we sell, this aids their durability stopping them from moving and creasing on the floor, thus protecting them.
Oushak rugs or Ushak depending on the spelling preference, were woven in Western Anatolia which was one of the largest rug production areas since the Ottoman Empire. Their designs tend to be more open than Persian rugs and soft dyes are not uncommon. Often younger Ushak rugs will be rich red in colour and use bolder geometric designs.
