Rare Antique Oushak Rug – Khotan-Inspired Elegance Meets Anatolian Soul
Uncover a rare fusion of cultures and craftsmanship with this special antique Oushak rug, a one-of-a-kind piece that bridges the artistry of Anatolia with the elegance of Central Asian design. Handwoven in western Turkey, this rug stands apart for its distinctive Khotan-like medallions, an uncommon and striking feature in the Oushak weaving tradition.
The central field showcases a balanced series of geometric medallions, reminiscent of the refined symmetry found in antique Khotan rugs. These motifs, surrounded by a spacious and open design, offer a sense of movement and harmony — a visual rhythm that feels both grounded and ethereal. The result is a captivating composition that blends the structural beauty of Central Asia with the soft, washed charm of Anatolian weaves.
Rendered in a serene palette of faded terracotta, pale turquoise, soft browns, and antique ivory, the rug’s colors are softened by time, creating a gentle, luminous presence. The wool pile, aged to perfection, is supple and low, with a delicate sheen that reflects the craftsmanship behind each hand-tied knot.
This rare Oushak is more than a floor covering — it’s a collector’s piece, ideal for designers and enthusiasts seeking something truly unique. Its blend of influences, historic character, and decorative versatility make it suitable for both modern and traditional spaces, adding soul, sophistication, and story.
Whether styled in a quiet study, a curated hallway, or as a bold statement in a gallery-like living room, this rare Oushak with Khotan medallions invites conversation and admiration. It’s not just a rug — it’s living art.
