Vintage Oushak Rug, 192 × 310 cm / 6.3 x 10 ft Rug, Handmade Wool Modern Rug

A highly distinctive vintage handmade Oushak rug from Turkey, woven from wool and featuring an unusually bold, abstract composition. Measuring 192 × 310 cm (6.3 × 10 ft), this approximately 70-year-old rug combines traditional Turkish craftsmanship with a design that feels remarkably modern and artistic.

The warm mustard-gold field is decorated with a series of differently sized circular forms arranged across the surface. These circles appear in coral, turquoise blue, pale yellow, lavender-gray, and muted orange, each containing expressive black geometric elements. Fine zigzag lines connect many of the circular motifs, creating movement and rhythm throughout the composition.

Rather than using the floral medallions and ornate borders commonly associated with classical Oushak carpets, this piece has an open field, simplified shapes, asymmetrical spacing, and strong graphic forms.

About the Modern Design

Although this rug is approximately 70 years old, its design can be described as modern because of its visual language rather than its production date.

The composition has several characteristics associated with modern and mid-century decorative art:

• Large abstract circular forms
• Strong use of negative space
• Simplified geometric motifs
• Irregular and playful placement
• Graphic black details
• Limited but expressive color palette
• Minimal borderless composition

These features give the rug an almost mid-century modern or abstract-art appearance, while its handwoven wool construction preserves the authenticity and warmth of traditional Turkish rug making.

This unusual combination makes the piece especially appealing for collectors looking for vintage textiles that work naturally in contemporary interiors.
