Seller's Notes:Hand knotted in Turkey originating between 1910-1920, this antique floral rug enjoys one of the foremost joyful colorway pallets of the hand-selected Oushak rugs joining Rug & Kilim’s Antique & Vintage Collection, a play of teeming green and whimsical pink complementing both the symmetry of the field and the wrapping sense of movement in the borders. The subtle stylistic variation of the motifs in the latter—from burdock and palmette motifs to more distinct hyacinth patterns—brings out the equally subtle accents of blue and cream notes that gracefully transition from the guard border into the field corners in the grand, almost lush nature of this rare 10x12. Additionally rare to an Oushak rug of this era are the playful red fringes along the top and bottom borders of the piece, a subtly rich juxtaposition to the brighter hues as well as a further testament to the collectible and conversational appeal of this antique. About the Collection: Antique rugs have been in Josh’s resume since he began in the industry almost 40 years ago when he was already recognized for one of the largest oriental rug collections in the United States. Each piece in the internationally recognized volume was hand picked for rarity, and of course aesthetic and beauty, now complementing one of the widest varieties of Persian rug and Turkish rug collections with the utmost attention to individuality and care. Because of Josh’s position in the wholesale rug industry he’s been responsible for promoting a number of collections throughout history, from breathtaking signature Tabriz, Sultanabad, Kerman Lavar, Agra, and Oushak classics to the more unsung jewels of the luxury industry. Vintage has also been synonymous with who we are since our beginning, particularly for our unparalleled Kilim collection, but with the rise of Mid Century collection the term vintage carpet has become very popular—especially exciting because often times many of the vintage carpets have also been treated, washed, dyed over, sheared, and modified—and has created a very successful category. We’re especially very proud of our vintage Kilims and Turkish rugs curated for our expansive collection of both area rugs and runners alike. Rug & Kilim maintains our own facilities for cleaning and restoration exclusively for carpets we’ve sold to ensure their lasting beauty and care long after a piece leaves our collection.
