Description
A beautiful antique Ushak carpet, late 19th century, with a wonderful classical open design with large blue/green palmette design and four early ‘Harshang’ motifs around them. These stunning early Ushak’s have gorgeous colours to use in any room. In very good condition with a medium high pile height, very similar to Ref: 9276, they would sit very well together in a large room. Our excellent underlay would allow it to sit still and add body on any floor type. No significant damage of holes or tears, original ends are showing and a very decorative antique carpet. Please view all the additional images which are all taken in natural light and no filters applied, so you can see the colours properly.

Ushaks 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 Ushaks or Oushaks will be rich red in colour and use bolder geometric designs. This Anatolian carpet has an almost contemporary feel to it and would work in a modern space as well as traditional. We clean every carpet before offering it for sale and make sure the ends and fringes are secured.
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 sometimes softer palette than persian carpets, thus making them easy to place in a drawing room or under a dining table.
