A vintage Turkish Oushak rug in runner format handmade during the mid-20th century. Measures: 3' 1" x 11' 7" Until the Great Persian Carpet Revival in the later 19th century, the “Oriental rug” was Turkish. For nearly six centuries, Turkish rugs, both scatter, room size, and even larger, thoroughly dominated the European import market.
