This oversize vintage Turkish Oushak rug from the early 1900s is an exceptional piece, featuring a near-square format that lends itself beautifully to grand living spaces and open floor plans. Inspired by the aesthetic of mid-19th century Persian Serapi rugs, this piece showcases a bold yet elegant geometric medallion design with a sense of balance and openness rarely seen in large-scale rugs.
The cream-colored field is adorned with corner spandrels in a soft pale green, while the wide salmon-hued border frames the composition with striking contrast. Soft tones of pink, yellow, green, and ivory harmonize across the rug, creating a sophisticated and soothing palette ideal for refined interiors.
Woven entirely by hand using high-quality wool, this Oushak rug features large, angular motifs and a deliberately spacious layout that gives it a contemporary versatility while honoring its traditional roots. Its muted color palette, geometric precision, and Serapi-inspired border elements make it a standout choice for designers and collectors seeking a fusion of Turkish village craftsmanship and Persian artistic influence.
