About the Item
Antique Turkish Oushak Runner (size adjusted)
Size: 8'1" × 19'9" (246 × 601 cm)
Rich in tradition yet boldly artistic, this antique Turkish Oushak runner from the 1920s is a vibrant example of Anatolian textile mastery. Woven in the renowned weaving centers of Western Turkey, the rug exemplifies the prized aesthetic hallmarks of the Oushak style—bold colorways, large-scale abstract motifs, and a palpable sense of spontaneity in design.
The runner dazzles with a kaleidoscopic array of colors—rust red, saffron yellow, teal, ivory, cobalt, and black—woven into a striking geometric field. Large, stylized medallions are arranged diagonally in a lively zigzag formation, each radiating dynamic symmetry and tribal character. Flanked by smaller symbolic floral and angular motifs, the field pulsates with visual rhythm and narrative depth.
A distinctive wide border frames the composition, rendered in a saturated terracotta ground and adorned with alternating palmettes, stylized blossoms, and angular rosettes. The border's traditional “running vine” structure provides a grounded contrast to the wild energy of the central field.
Crafted from high-quality wool and dyed with natural pigments, the rug retains a lustrous surface and vibrant tones, a testament to the enduring quality of antique Turkish craftsmanship. Its generous length makes it ideal for hallways or long gallery spaces, where its artistry can be appreciated in full stride.
This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
