About the Item

73785 Distressed Antique Turkish Oushak Rug, 03'05 X 06'05. This classic-style hand-knotted wool antique Turkish Oushak rug merges French Provincial and Rococo Romanticism with timeless Anatolian tradition. The design features an elaborate round-oval medallion set against an abrashed and weathered sage-gray backdrop, making it a perfect complement to Neoclassical or rustic American traditional furnishings. Floral bouquets and blossoms in the corner spandrels, styled like French ribbons, add to the charm, while a palmette vine meander border, flanked by inner and outer botanical ornamental guard borders, encloses the design. The antique Oushak rug displays a palette reminiscent of a cloudy sky, with pale pinks and light yellow hues that seamlessly blend into each other. This color scheme, along with the regal medallion and borders, adds an air of formality to the otherwise breezy spring palette. The combination of pale colors and bright contrasts further enhances the rug's visual appeal. This antique Oushak rug is ideal for various interior styles, including Chinoiserie chic, Art Nouveau, and even Swedish or French farmhouse themes. Its ornamental delicacy and airy lightness bring a refined and elegant touch to any room it adorns, making it a versatile and attractive addition to any decor.
