Description

A beautiful pale pink antique Ushak carpet, full of rustic charm and an all over palmette design.  An off white natural wool border, using an abstract and basic design reminiscent of the crab border pattern, usually seen in Caucasian rugs from Azerbaijan.  The natural colours are sublime, faded pinks, gold tones, petrol blues, cherry reds and greens are an amazing palette.  It would look wonderful in a drawing room, bedroom or dining room, the colours would be fabulous to work with in an existing scheme or choosing fabrics to work with it.

Request a home visit to arrange a time for us to show you this wonderful Ushak carpet in your own home, we love to travel all over the UK helping interior designers and private customers.  We have offered this service for over 30 years and have travelled as far as Scotland, Ireland and even to Europe in the past. This is a free, no obligation and professional service we love to offer alongside visiting our showroom in Surrey.

Ushak’s 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.  A decorative subtle piece ideal for a soft scheme.

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.
