52300 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 04'01 x 07'00. Turkish tribal Oushak rugs with latch hook lozenge medallions originate from the historic rug-making center of Oushak in western Turkey and are renowned for their distinctive designs and vibrant colors. These traditional rugs, with a history dating back to the Ottoman Empire, feature geometric medallions and intricate borders. Crafted from high-quality wool, dyed with natural materials, and hand-knotted by artisans, these authentic Oushak rugs combine durability with aesthetic appeal. Their bold colors add vibrancy, making them ideal as both decorative floor coverings and wall hangings, sought after worldwide for their reflection of Turkish cultural heritage.
In this vintage Turkish Oushak rug, the bold geometry of Midcentury Modern style finds harmony with the timeless allure of tribal enchantment. Hand-knotted from lush wool, the rug's heart is adorned with three geometric latch hook lozenge medallions. These diamond-shaped motifs are outlined in a captivating zigzag contour, evoking ancient symbols of protection and fertility, while casting a spell of intrigue across the entire piece.
Along the vertical edges, equally mesmerizing latch-hook ziggurats reach inward, beckoning toward the central medallions. Their ascent towards the middle creates an enchanting illusion of expansion, infusing the composition with energy and depth. Each element seems to pulse with a dynamic rhythm, captivating the eye and inviting it to explore every inch of its artistry.
Framing this magical tableau is a tribal border that speaks of age-old traditions and blessings. Embellished with Bereket motifs, known for their symbolism of fertility and protection against the evil eye, the main border completes the piece with a flourish of mystery and mystique. Together, these elements weave a tableau of boldness, beauty, and symbolic grace, inviting all who behold it into a realm of endless wonder.
Rendered in variegated shades of orange, red, gold, grey, beige, tan, brown, brick red, rust, and charcoal with other accent colors.
