This is a Turkish Oushak rug made circa 1880s. The rug is square measured at 11'6 x 11'6. In its center it has a large diamond shape with intricate patterned detail both inside and wrapped around the outside. Surrounding this shape are four corner patterns that begin to create the rugs border. The main color throughout the rug is a beautiful cherry red. It is completed with subtle matching fringes on the top and bottom of the piece.

Oushak rugs are made in the city of Usak, Turkey and use a particular family of designs. This area has been a major rug producer since the early Ottoman Empire and into the early 20th century.
