7025 Oushak 9 ft 5 in x 11 ft 9 in (287 x 358)
Circa 1900
An extremely subtle Turkish rug in both design and color, owing to sophisticated tastes in the European export market of the time.
Interestingly, this is of a design seen very seldom in the original Oushak carpets, but seen quite often in the Donegal (Ireland) copies of the 1920’s and 30’s. The red colored warp and weft comes though in this hundred plus year old piece to give it an additional dimension and texture.
