A pair of vintage rugs, each with distinct origins and design characteristics.
Oushak Rug (Turkey): This Oushak rug showcases a classic "Star Ushak" design with two prominent, intricately detailed eight-pointed star medallions surrounded by a wide border featuring smaller geometric and floral motifs. The color palette is warm and inviting, with soft shades of rose, blue, green, and gold, punctuated by abrash (color variations) that add depth and character. The rug is hand-knotted with a wool pile on a wool foundation and measures approximately 48" x 70"
Indian Rug: This rug exhibits a traditional Indian design with a central floral medallion surrounded by a repeating boteh (paisley) pattern. The primary colors are red, blue, and cream, accented with yellow and green. This rug is also hand-knotted with a wool pile on a wool foundation and measures approximately 52" x 70".
This lot must be picked up in Knoxville, TN or shipped via a carrier of your choosing. We can ship smaller, boxed items ourselves, but for larger items, you are welcome to use our suggested carrier (listed in Shipping Details) or another carrier that you prefer. We will provide pickup date options in your invoice.
Both rugs are in good vintage condition with signs of wear commensurate with age and use. The Oushak rug shows some areas of fading and minor stains, primarily along the edges, but overall the colors remain vibrant. The Indian rug exhibits some light wear and a few small areas of repair on the underside.
From a prominent Cookeville, TN Estate.
