About the Item

50929 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug Runner, 03'00 x 09'08. Like a woven page from Anatolia’s storied past, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak runner stretches forth in quiet elegance, its form guided by symmetry, symbolism, and soul. The plum colored field, deep and earthy, serves as the grounding force for four aligned medallions that pulse with geometric rhythm and floral geometry. Each lozenge-shaped motif, framed with stepped edges, appears like a stylized blossom blooming from the very heart of the Oushak rug, centered around floral rosettes and mirrored leaf-like extensions. These medallions seem to float down the spine of the runner like lanterns on a river, guiding the eye from end to end in a contemplative procession. Punctuating the negative space between the medallions are small concentric lozenges symbolizing echoes of protective talismans long embedded in the nomadic weaving tradition. Each corner of the field is softly flanked with pale blue-gray triangular spandrels filled with a lattice of cross motifs, lending a quiet breath to the structure and offering contrast to the warm tones of the field. The soft abrashed hues suggest natural dyes mellowed with age, evoking the warm patina of time and use. The golden border, richly embroidered with a parade of stylized lilies and tulips, wraps the central design in a protective embrace. These meandering florals, drawn in a playful yet purposeful line, represent more than decoration—they are ancient Anatolian symbols of purity and prosperity. Their alternating orientations and hues bring movement to the frame, transforming the boundary into a dynamic narrative space of its own. Each step along the border is a tale, a gesture, a whisper from a weaver’s world centuries in the making. As a runner, this vintage Oushak rug is not merely a passageway covering—it is a ceremonial path. Whether placed in a hallway, gallery, or alongside a long table, it invites slow traversal, reverent glances, and thoughtful stillness. Its palette of saffron, plum , soft blue-gray, and beige captures both the golden hour of a Turkish village and the sacred geometry of enduring tradition. With each knot and motif, it reminds us that beauty lies not only in pattern, but in the patient storytelling of hands that remember. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 03'00 x 09'08. Date: 1950's. Mid-20th Century.
