19th Century Turkish Oushak Carpet
Before English Arts & Crafts carpets copied Oushaks, Oushak did Arts & Crafts, as is abundantly evident in this splendid red circa 1880s rug with wiry flowering vines, abstracted weeping willow elements, and a few large palmettes. The effect is spacious and open, and this generous approach continues with the rich golden main border with more, right angled weeping willows with palmette spacers. The colour scheme is relatively narrow, but the result is gracious and informal.
