Each medallion contains a large Kaikalak motif, which consists of four opposing ram’s horns. The main border features large open blossoms, tulips, and ram’s-horn-style leaves, which echo the floral blooms that decorate each of the corner spandrels. A series of boteh Meander, rosette, and saw-tooth guard borders complete the design. The repetition of shapes and motifs sprinkled throughout imbue the composition with a great deal of visual interest and overall harmony. The unexpected use of purplish-blue and persimmon accents enlivens the otherwise earthier color palette centered on dark and light shades of brown and deep reds. With its unique colors, bold design, and lovely floral detailing, this handsome vintage Turkish Oushak rug would be a welcoming and stylish addition to any space.
