Antique Oushak Carpet, Light Blue & Worn 302 x 424cm / 10'0" x 13'6"

Antique Oushak Carpet, Light Blue & Worn 302 x 424cm / 10'0" x 13'6"Great looking Oushak carpet from Western Turkey circa 1900. Has fairly heavy wear and the slightly uneven fade on one side but that is not as pronounced as the pictures make it. Such pretty colours especially with the light border in an off white milky tone. Nicely warmed up with a cherry red. Has been lightly cleaned and any holes fixed or closed. Priced according to condition and not beauty! 10'0" x 13'6"

Theborder in rich terracotta is inoffensive and the colours generally try to fit in with your scheme rather than disturb it- hence the power of the antique rug

The subject matter is familiar and soothing

The dramatic design of large flowerheads and serrated leaves hark from a period clearly predating most of what we see today

The large palmette design sits on a soft blue ground

A very pleasing design and colour combination that is great for decorating

it is a miracle survivor

within a gorgeous navy blued border with a flowering vine

Made for export to the European market

Finely woven

The pile is a little flat but there are no significant repairs

The large flowers revolve around a central point

The extra large flowerheads in the border are the size of pumpkins and the polychrome vine weaving in out resembles more a dragon than a plant
