About the Item

53150 Rustic Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 04'07 x 06'08. Effortless beauty and romantic connotations meet soft, bespoke vibes with a Swedish farmhouse cottage style in this hand knotted wool distressed vintage Turkish Oushak rug. The lovingly time-worn field features two brick red orb-like medallions with a palmette pattern surrounded by an all-over botanical design. It is enclosed with a repeating Elibelinde motif border. The Classic Elibelinde motif, also known as the “hands on hips” or goddess motif, is thought to represent motherhood and fertility while ram’s horns represent masculinity and power. The fertility bereket motifs that appear combine the symbols of both man and woman, often referred to as ram’s Horn and hands-on-hips motifs, into one design with a diamond in the centre found in the outer guard band. Steeped in Anatolian history and culture, this evocative vintage Oushak runner’s rich symbolism, well-harmonized colors, and bold design combine to create a truly wonderful piece that would enliven nearly any interior.
