Eliko Rugs by David Ariel Shabby Chic Distressed Turkish Oushak Rug, Circa 1940s

About the Item

A distressed Oushak rug refers to a type of traditional Turkish rug known for its unique style and design. Oushak rugs, also known as Ushak rugs, are named after the town of Oushak in western Turkey, which has been a prominent rug production center for centuries. The term "distressed" in the context of Oushak rugs refers to a deliberate aging process or treatment applied to the rug to give it a vintage or antique appearance. This process involves various techniques that simulate the natural wear and tear that occurs over time. Distressing methods can include bleaching, washing, sanding, or chemical treatments to fade colors, soften the wool fibers, and create a weathered or aged look. Distressed Oushak rugs typically have muted or faded colors, worn-out areas, and a low pile, which adds to their vintage charm and character. These rugs often feature a central medallion surrounded by floral or geometric motifs, and they are known for their soft, pastel color palettes and subtle designs. Many people appreciate distressed Oushak rugs for their ability to add a touch of history, elegance, and warmth to both traditional and modern interiors. They can be used as statement pieces in living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms, or as decorative accents in hallways or entryways. Eliko Rugs by David Ariel features this Anatolian workshop carpet still shows character with a narrow, rust-red field centered by a pendant and lobed medallion, set within green floral arabesque corners. Dark border with a floral train accent. Coarse weave

Eliko Rugs by David Ariel Unusual Antique Turkish Oushak Runner, Red Field
Located in New York, NY
Oushak runners refer to a type of carpet or rug that originates from the Oushak region in Western Anatolia, Turkey. Oushak rugs are renowned for their exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and distinct design characteristics. They are highly sought after and prized by collectors and interior designers. Oushak runners are long and narrow carpets specifically designed to be used as floor coverings in hallways, corridors, or as a centerpiece in narrow spaces. They are typically rectangular in shape and have a narrow width compared to their length. The dimensions of Oushak runners can vary, but they are generally longer than regular rugs and carpets. The distinguishing features of Oushak runners include their unique color palettes, intricate patterns, and soft, luxurious textures. They often exhibit a harmonious blend of warm, earthy tones, such as muted reds, soft blues, terracottas, beiges, and creams. The patterns on Oushak runners are typically floral or geometric in nature, featuring elaborate motifs and designs. The level of detail and intricacy in the patterns can vary, ranging from bold, large-scale motifs to more delicate, intricate designs. Oushak runners are traditionally handwoven using high-quality wool or a combination of wool and silk. The wool used in these rugs is known for its durability and lustrous sheen. Oushak rugs are renowned for their softness underfoot and their ability to age gracefully, becoming even more beautiful over time. Due to their aesthetic appeal and versatile nature, Oushak runners are popular choices for adding warmth, texture, and visual interest to various interior settings. They can complement a wide range of design styles, from traditional to contemporary, and can be used to enhance the beauty of hallways, staircases, entryways, or any narrow space that requires an elegant floor covering.
