52107 Vintage Red Turkish Oushak Rug, 04'04 x 07'00. Turkish tribal Oushak rugs, adorned with captivating latch hook lozenge medallions, originate from the storied rug-making heart of Oushak in western Turkey. These vibrant treasures weave together bold geometry and intricate borders, reflecting the rich legacy of the Ottoman Empire. Hand-knotted from the finest wool, tinted with natural dyes, and brought to life by master artisans, each rug embodies a spellbinding blend of durability and aesthetic allure. Their enchanting colors and timeless motifs make them ideal as decorative floor coverings or wall hangings, revered worldwide for their embodiment of Turkish cultural heritage and craftsmanship.
In this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug, bold Midcentury Modern geometry meets Anatolian tribal enchantment. The captivating composition unfurls across a field of warm brick red, anchored by three interconnected hooked diamond medallions adorned with ram’s horn pendants. The medallions enclose a treasure trove of Anatolian symbols, including superimposed rectangular medallions with tree pendants and central quatrefoil florets. These motifs interweave with an intricate lattice of S-shaped designs that gracefully curves around the medallions, encircling them with ancient symbolism.
The symbols woven throughout the Oushak rug echo traditional Anatolian heritage. The hooked S-shapes signify hooks, while diamonds represent eyes, all working together to ward off evil. Triangular amulets reflect traditional charms known as *muskas*, which are believed to offer protection. Fertility motifs blend symbols of man and woman into harmonious unity, merging ram’s horns with hands-on-hips motifs, all centered around a diamond. These symbols entwine with repeating quatrefoil florets, creating a tableau that merges protection, unity, and hope.
The intricate border elegantly mirrors the rug’s field, featuring hooked florets contained within a lattice connected by stepped diamonds. Vibrant S-shaped designs and barber’s pole listels frame the composition with lively flair, completing this masterpiece. Steeped in Anatolian history and culture, this vintage Oushak rug's rich symbolism, harmonious colors, and striking geometric design create a mesmerizing piece that would infuse any interior with vitality and enchantment.
Rendered in variegated shades of red, orange, gold, gray, beige, brown, peach, brick red, tan, and coffee with other accent colors.
