Antique Ushak carpet

Object Description

A beautiful pale pink antique Ushak carpet, full of rustic charm and an all over palmette design.  An off white natural wool border, using an abstract and basic design reminiscent of the crab border pattern, usually seen in Caucasian rugs from Azerbaijan.  The natural colours are sublime, faded pinks, gold tones, petrol blues, cherry reds and greens are an amazing palette.  It would look wonderful in a drawing room, bedroom or dining room, the colours would be fabulous to work with in an existing scheme or choosing fabrics to work with it.

Object Literature

Ushak’s 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.  A decorative subtle piece ideal for a soft scheme.

Object Condition

Lovely original condition for its age.
