Description

50722 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug with Spanish Renaissance Style 04'10 X 08'00. This hand knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug features a large polygonal center medallion adorned with Elibilinde pendants floating in the center of an abrashed red field. The classic Elibelinde motif, also known as the “hands on hips” or goddess motif, is thought to represent motherhood and fertility. Both the medallion and corner spandrels contain abstract floral motifs and scrolling acanthus leaves. Additionally, yin and yang pearl drops outline the medallion and spandrels. Though originally adopted from Chinese philosophy, the yin and yang symbol in Anatolian culture is thought to represent love and unison, or, going even further, fertility and the harmony between man and woman. Pulling together colors and motifs from throughout the composition, the compound border features a rectilienar pattern of eight-point stars connected by a ladder design flanked with mirrored boteh motifs. The bold red field and various accents bring a sense of liveliness to the otherwise neutral color palette of tan, beige, and black coffee hues. With its combination of delicate floral motifs, vivacious design and rich symbolism, this vintage Turkish Oushak rug would be a charming and romantic addition to any space. Perfect for a living room, bedroom, dining room, front room, home office, private library, parlor, or it would make a lovely accent in a great room, state room, family room, studio, study, loft, and lounge. Well-suited for a wide range of interior styles: Spanish Renaissance, Mediterranean, Parisian, Northwestern, Medieval, Italian Renaissance, Mission Revival, Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern, Traditional, and Modern. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 04'10 X 08'00.
