An antique Turkish Oushak carpet. This antique Oushak from western Turkey employs a version of the Persian cypress tree, weeping willow, leafy chinar (plane tree) and potted shrub pattern seen often on Heriz carpets, here on a rust ground. The straw yellow wide border shows off wildly petalled palmettes, rosettes, and jardinieres with plants. An attractive rug with real design provenance.
