About the Item

52145 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug Runner, 03'05 x 12'03. Woven like a verse from the earth’s own hymnal, this hand knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak runner unfolds with soulful intensity and tribal grace. Against a backdrop of bold orange and coal black fields, the Oushak rug’s design pulses with ancestral memory—three commanding medallions step across its length like ancient glyphs, each a sacred axis in a ceremonial path. Their jagged silhouettes echo the jagged peaks of Anatolia, and the stepped edges—a motif believed to ward off evil—extend like protective wings in a watchful stance. The central medallions burst with elemental energy. Tree of Life motifs and stylized flowers bloom within them as if coaxed from volcanic soil, resilient and radiant, each petal a prayer of endurance. The tree of life forms and branching motifs rise like cypress and flame, symbolic of life’s ascent and the ever-ascending spirit. They are adorned with charm-laden accents: geometric blossoms, comb-like talismans, and ram’s horn flourishes that celebrate fertility, strength, and sacred lineage. A dynamic border frames the composition, bringing rhythmic balance and framing the core with a eight-point star flowers, flanked with an inner tribal motif guard band. These border motifs, with their petaled repetition and rhythmic sway, conjure the feel of folkloric chants sung around a hearth—stories told not in ink, but in the resilient knots of dyed wool. The alternating shades of cream, brick, and leaf green reflect both seasonal cycles and the dualities of light and shadow, old and new, sacred and mundane. Alive with color, memory, and protection, this vintage Oushak runner does more than occupy space—it transforms it. Its palette, rich and earthy, weaves seamlessly into both rustic and contemporary dwellings, offering a corridor not just of passage, but of pilgrimage. With each footfall upon its surface, one treads not only on wool but across centuries of Anatolian wisdom, enduring artistry, and the quiet poetry of village hands. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 03'05 x 12'03. Date: 1950's. Mid-20th Century.
