The Vintage Turkish Oushak Carpet is a mid-20th century hand-knotted wool rug defined by rhythmic paneled floral medallions and a warm mineral palette. Woven in Turkey circa the 1960s, this Oushak reflects the relaxed geometry and enduring durability that characterize Anatolian weaving traditions.

Origin: Oushak (Uşak), Western Anatolia, Turkey
Age: Vintage, circa 1960s
Type: Area Rug
Construction: Hand-knotted (Turkish symmetrical knot)
Pile: Natural wool
Use: Indoor
Size: 5'9" × 6'5"

Each rug is handcrafted and unique. Variations in abrash, oxidation, color migration, and restoration are natural characteristics of vintage handmade rugs and reflect authenticity rather than imperfection.

Description

This vintage Oushak carpet presents two columns and three rows of repeating paneled floral medallions, each rendered with inverted coloration for visual rhythm and depth. Outwardly directed minor arrowed blossoms animate the structure, creating subtle movement within the composition.

The field is wrapped by a meandering vine main border composed of geometric floral cross-sections—bold yet balanced. The palette blends cherry red, tangerine orange, oxidized silver, dusty pale saffron yellow, and ivory, producing a warm, honeyed glow across the surface.

Compact in scale yet visually structured, Boli works beautifully in living rooms, offices, and layered interiors where warmth and geometric clarity are desired without overwhelming the space.

History

Oushak carpets originate from Western Anatolia and have long been valued for their spacious drawing and adaptable palettes. By the mid-20th century, Oushak weavers continued traditional medallion and floral motifs while embracing warmer, mineral-based color stories that resonate strongly in contemporary interiors.

Known for durability and approachable geometry, vintage Oushaks from the 1960s remain among the most versatile Turkish carpets available today.

About the Name

Boli means “honey” in Turkish.

The name reflects the rug’s warm cherry and tangerine tones softened by saffron and ivory—sweet, glowing, and inviting.

Boli captures the comforting warmth and approachable beauty that define mid-century Oushak weaving.

ORIGIN STORY

The Oushak Collection

Boli is a vintage Oushak rug defined by softened geometry, open composition, and a refined, palette-first sensibility. Woven in western Turkey, Oushak rugs are known for their generous scale, calm fields, and large motifs that favor balance and atmosphere over density.

Celebrated for their livability, Oushaks blend architectural structure with organic movement—wide borders, medallions, and gentle abrash creating rugs that feel grounded yet light. Their muted, timeworn tones make them ideal foundation pieces, bringing warmth, texture, and quiet sophistication to both classic interiors and thoughtfully modern spaces.
