A poetic balance of bold design and soft aging, this vintage circa 1980s Turkish Oushak mat features an oversized central medallion with intricate serrated edges, anchored by stylized germinating plants on either end—symbolizing growth and renewal. The mostly open field allows the powerful geometry and rich colors to take center stage, while abrashes throughout add dimension and depth.
A complex palette unfolds across the piece: dusty raspberry, cochineal red, bubble gum pink, ivory, oxidized silver, and pale plum mingle effortlessly with beige and soft coffee tones. These beautifully faded hues give the rug a painterly, almost watercolor effect.
Even wear across to knot heads with foundation showing through. Original side cord selvages intact. Fully secured sides and ends. For processing purposes, this and other rugs of the type may have painted numbers on the reverse side.
Recently professionally cleaned and ready for everyday use, this rug is a perfect choice for layering, placing beside a bed, or adding vintage character to a quiet nook.
