1960's Colorful Turkish Oushak Carpet with Modern Tribal Style

About the Item

52718 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug Runner, 03'00 x 12'07. A vibrant river of Anatolian artistry flows through this hand knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak runner, its dazzling geometry and chromatic exuberance echoing the energy of village festivals and the legacy of centuries-old weaving traditions. Set against a bold crimson field, a kaleidoscopic succession of medallions pulses like sacred mandalas—each one distinct in color and form, yet connected by an invisible thread of folklore and memory. From ochre to violet, cerulean to blush, the palette bursts with vitality, capturing the spirit of a weaver unafraid to dream in color and symbol. Each central medallion resembles a heraldic emblem, filled with abstract florals, talismanic motifs, and tribal echoes. They form a vertical procession, aligned like celestial constellations down the length of the Oushak runner, charting a journey of protection, prosperity, and pride. The dynamic serrated corners of each medallion—sharp, jagged, and full of tension—speak of both danger and resilience, while the intricate flanking ziggurat ornaments add harmony and grounded elegance. These motifs are not merely decorative; they are coded blessings, woven by hands that knew the language of the loom like poetry. Encasing this visual symphony is a strikingly animated border, where multicolored rosettes and lozenges parade in rhythmic continuity. This border is more than a frame—it is a dialogue with the past, recalling the protective bands found in ancient tribal rugs that guarded against misfortune. Note the playful spontaneity in the inner and outer guard strips, where bright zigzags and fragmented floral bursts interrupt and enchant the eye. Even the fringes—mismatched and expressive—whisper of the rug’s journey, of human touch, wear, and the joy of imperfection. This Oushak runner is a celebration of unbridled creativity and woven memory, where modernist abstraction meets deep-rooted heritage. It is as much an expressionist tableau as it is a traditional carpet—a tactile artwork imbued with exuberance and soul. In hallways or galleries, beneath footsteps or alongside fine furnishings, it serves not only as a path of wool but a passage through time, color, and culture. To walk upon it is to walk through a story written in rhythm, resilience, and radiant hue. Rendered in variegates shades of ruby red, crimson, ivory, ecru, tan, taupe, gray, royal blue, hot pink, green, purple, orange, and yellow with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 03'00 x 12'07. Date: 1960's. Mid-20th Century.
