8 x 11 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug 50507

50507 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 08’02 x 11’00.

Like a page torn from a sultan’s dream, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug glows with a regal intensity, its scarlet field ablaze with the passions of time and artistry. At the heart of this resplendent composition blooms a grand lobed floral medallion, its palmette pendants unfurling in graceful rhythm, as if suspended in the stillness of a ruby sky. Dark and sumptuous, the medallion radiates power, yet is softened by the tender sprigs and blossoms that surround it, each petal a verse in this woven poem of Anatolian heritage.

The field, rich with the hues of embers and roses, pulses with life, animated by the delicate dance of floral blooms that spiral outward with spirited grace. Tiny palmettes and sinuous cloud bands whisper through the corner spandrels, while acanthus leaves and rosettes anchor the design in a timeless embrace. From the very edges of this crimson expanse, dainty flowers venture inward, like secrets unfolding from the margins, drawing the eye toward the heart of this opulent creation.

Encasing the field in majestic splendor, the border unfurls with luxuriant blossoms, lotus flowers, and curling leaves, all entwined in scrolling vines that meander with noble elegance. This garland of nature’s finery evokes the lush gardens of Ottoman palaces, where art imitated the divine beauty of the natural world. Alongside this profusion of ornament, a slender inner guard of barber’s pole S-shapes offers a quiet counterpoint—a rhythmic simplicity that steadies the eye and tempers the lavishness with grace.

This vintage Oushak rug is more than a carpet; it is an ode to grandeur, a fusion of boldness and refinement born from the hands of master weavers. With every knot, it tells a story of tradition, of beauty drawn from earth and fire, and of a culture that wove its soul into cloth. It beckons to those who seek not only adornment, but the deep, resonant song of history beneath their feet.
