This vintage Oushak runner is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece with a striking Anatolian-inspired all-over design rendered in a richly faded red field. Its spacious lattice of stylized palmettes, floral motifs, and angular vinery creates the classic decorative balance collectors prize in hand-knotted Oushak rugs, while the softened palette gives it an elegant, timeworn character. An ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or kitchen.
Faded warm tones of rust, ivory, sky blue, rose, and crimson, with a rust field.
Oushak is a town in West Central Anatolia. Since the fifteenth century, it is the most famous and important rug producing center of Turkey. Particularly well known are the rugs known by their pattern such as “Large Medallion Oushak, “Star Oushak” “and Small medallion Oushak”. They frequently appeared in sixteenth and seventeenth-century Old Master European paintings. There is a group of paintings depicting King Henry VIII of England and family members standing on several different well-known types. From the late eighteenth and through the twentieth century, it became an important center for producing carpets for export to the West. The rugs from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century are highly favored for their decorative appeal with their soft palette, excellent color combinations, and informal drawing. Oushak weaves were also produced in the surrounding villages on simple looms where the weavers had the freedom to create their own designs.
