This exquisite early 20th-century Turkish Oushak area rug showcases a rare botanical pattern rendered in a beautifully abrash French blue, green, and ivory palette. The rug's royal blue field, softened by natural abrash variation, creates a rich and painterly backdrop that highlights the artistry of its design.
A central medallion anchors the composition, while two column-like ivory forms, adorned with intricate purple and green details, lend a stately, architectural quality—evoking the grandeur of a great hall or ceremonial space. Delicate branches and leaves in cream, green, and rare purple tones gracefully extend across the field, bringing organic elegance and movement to the design.
