This exquisite hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug marries Mid-Century Modern elegance with traditional Anatolian design, creating a piece that transcends time while embracing simplicity and quiet sophistication. The composition features a serene, antique washed field in subtle hues, centered around a stepped concentric medallion that draws the eye inward. This elongated medallion is intricately decorated with stylized florals and angular palmettes, surrounded by a matrix of ambiguous motifs that hint at the rich cultural history from which this design draws its inspiration.

The beautiful blue-hued corner spandrels reveal a meticulous rectilinear botanical pattern of florals and foliage. These corner spandrels not only enhance the composition's depth but also beautifully frame the central medallion, creating a harmonious visual flow across the Oushak rug. The detailed artwork provides a soft contrast to the central theme, adding layers of visual interest and complexity that captivate and enchant.

Along the width of the rug at both ends, end-caps filled with botanical ziggurats extend the narrative of intricate artistry. These ziggurats add a dimensional aspect to the piece, further enhancing its textural and visual appeal. The end-caps serve not only as a decorative element but also anchor the design, balancing the central medallion and corner spandrels with a grounded yet elaborate border.

Enclosing the entire artistic composition is a meticulously crafted angular botanical border, flanked by inner and outer carnation meander guard bands. This border frames the central tableau with precision, its intricate patterns echoing the florals within the field, and providing a cohesive finish to the rug's overall aesthetic. The color palette and design elements blend seamlessly to create a rug that would add a touch of nostalgic charm and bespoke sophistication to any modern or traditional interior, making it a timeless addition to any collection.
