1950's Turkish Oushak Carpet with Traditional Style

About the Item

52704 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug Runner, 02'09 x 11'09. Woven with the pulse of Anatolia and the palette of a sun-warmed earth, this hand knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak runner is a vibrant testament to tribal heritage and artistic geometry. Its field unfolds in a rhythmic succession of diamond medallions—lozenge-shaped amulets with serrated contours that recall the fierce grace of the ancient “Wolf’s Mouth” motif. Long believed to ward off evil and invoke strength, these amulets serve as protective talismans in textile form, each one rendered in bold tones of crimson, apricot, ochre, and clay, enriched by subtle strokes of pistachio, slate, and ivory. The tribal voice of the Oushak runner is both ancient and immediate, its ziggurat motifs forming a jagged inner border like the stepped silhouettes of mountains rising in sacred procession. These angular contours speak of paths traversed by nomadic weavers and echo the architecture of Anatolia’s temples and terraces, translating geographic memory into tactile rhythm. This is a rug of movement and transition, a visual caravan stretching across the floor with stories coded into each shape and hue. Framing this geometric vitality is a wide, stylized floral border, its blooms abstracted into rosettes and stars that ripple outward in softened symmetry. The border is flanked by a delicate guard band, where a chain of smaller rosettes hums like a quiet chorus around the central melody of the field. The interplay of symmetry and improvisation, geometry and bloom, evokes the heart of Oushak tradition—rooted in structure, yet ever open to the poetic. This vintage Oushak rug is not merely a functional adornment but a woven manuscript of cultural identity, ideal for hallways, transitional spaces, or rooms in need of a grounded yet dynamic spirit. Whether placed in a modern loft, a rustic retreat, or a classical home, it delivers the tactile warmth of history and the chromatic joy of folk imagination. In its every fiber, the past walks beside the present—serene, symbolic, and beautifully alive. Rendered in variegated shades of camel, brown, ruby red, burgundy, raspberry red, orange, persimmon, rust, beige, tan, ecru, taupe, gray, and coffee with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 02'09 x 11'09. Date: 1950's. Mid-20th Century.
