Description

Amazing full wool pile on this highly decorative late 19th century antique Ushak carpet with a deep green to teal blue background, with a vibrant orange toned border.  Combined with subtle pink tones and hints of deep purple dyes, it really is a luxurious and stunning colour palette.  Which is why we love antique Ushak carpets, and they are increasingly desirable.  No losses to the ends or side/selvedges, as far as decorative antique carpets go this one would be very easy to live with and place in a drawing room for instance. In near perfect condition, please see all the additional images included.

Please request a home visit to see this stunning antique Ushak carpet at home at a convenient time for you. You can choose a suitable day and time for us to visit, plus you can select other carpets to view at home from our website as well.  We do not charge for this professional service we have offered to customers and interior designers for over 30 years.

Ushaks were woven in Western Anatolia which was one of the largest rug production areas since the Ottoman Empire.  Their designs tend to be more open than Persian rugs and soft dyes are not uncommon.  Often younger Ushaks or Oushaks will be rich red in colour and use bolder geometric designs.  This Anatolian carpet has an almost contemporary feel to it and would work in a modern space as well as traditional.  We clean every carpet before offering it for sale and make sure the ends and fringes are secured.

Ushak rugs and carpets were woven in the Anatolian highlands south of Istanbul where they used extremely soft wool and using the larger turkish knot made them weave more open designs than Persian carpets. They are increasingly desirable today due to their sometimes softer palette than persian carpets, thus making them easy to place in a drawing room or under a dining table.
