Hello, this item is a Karastan Antique Legends Oushak carpet, machine woven in the United States using high grade New Zealand wool and produced as part of Karastan’s premium decorative rug lines. The design is inspired by classical Oushak carpets from Western Turkey, featuring an enlarged palmette trellis field framed by a rosette border, adapted for modern interiors. This example, measuring approximately 10 by 14 feet, was purchased in 2006 and reflects Karastan’s well documented approach of translating historic Anatolian patterns into durable, large scale residential rugs. Despite the historic inspiration, this is a modern manufactured carpet rather than a hand knotted Turkish Oushak, which is an important distinction for valuation.
The carpet appears to be in very good overall condition, having been used only in a lightly trafficked area, with no visible heavy wear, staining, or structural damage noted in the images. In the secondary market, Karastan Antique Legends series rugs hold steady decorative value but depreciate substantially from original retail once used, regardless of condition. Comparable Karastan Oushak style rugs of similar size and age typically trade between $2,000 and $3,500 USD, depending on condition and local demand.
