43477 Antique Oushak, Turkey, late nineteenth century - A classic centralized design of vine spays and palmettes in shades of deep tan and salmon floats gracefully across the soft sand field of this supremely elegant antique Oushak. A large radial cluster of curling leaves provides a subtle form of medallion, although maintaining the general effect of an allover design. The vinescroll border reverses the color effects of the field for a bit of contrast within the overall tone-on-tone palette of the carpet. The delicacy of the coloration is matched by the luster and softness of the Angora wool pile.
