50038 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 02'06 X 11'11. Steeped in heritage yet radiating contemporary grace, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak runner is a triumph of restrained opulence. Its composition—anchored by a sequence of commanding hexagonal medallions—reveals a harmony between architectural precision and spiritual symbolism. Each signature medallion functions as a woven talisman, invoking both balance and protection, while its stepped edges suggest the ascending form of ancient ziggurats. This is a Turkish masterpiece designed not simply to adorn, but to elevate—to transform its surroundings into a passage of quiet grandeur and timeless sophistication. The artistry is deeply rooted in Anatolia’s illustrious weaving legacy, where every motif carries a story and every symbol a purpose. Within the medallions, stylized amulets and scorpion motifs stand as ancient guardians against misfortune, their angular geometry expressing both strength and grace. The delicate bird forms woven between them serve as emblems of love and prosperity, softening the design’s rigor with lyrical balance. The interplay between geometry and spirit reflects the dual nature of Oushak artistry—regal yet human, refined yet elemental. The precious rug’s texture adds another dimension to its allure. The hand-spun wool possesses a luminous sheen, responding to light with an almost silken subtlety. Variations in tonality and weave create a painterly effect, a sophisticated abrashed surface that whispers of age, authenticity, and tactility. Its surface exudes the calm richness of timeworn luxury—the kind of beauty that feels inherited rather than acquired. Each inch bears the trace of craftsmanship passed through generations, a legacy of skill refined to near perfection. To own such an exquisite work of art is to possess more than a rug—it is to inherit an artifact of cultural resonance and aesthetic mastery. This exceptional Oushak runner speaks to those who appreciate the nuance of rarity and the poetry of design that transcends fashion. Whether gracing the corridor of a modern penthouse or the entryway of a heritage estate, it embodies an aura of cultivated prestige—an object of enduring beauty for the collector who values history woven into the fabric of modern life. Rendered in variegated shades of camel, butterscotch, caramel, tan, sand, ecru, taupe, coffee, espresso, brown, peanut, and mocha with other neutral striations.  Small repair on one corner...

A vintage Turkish Anatolian Art Deco style rug in runner format handmade during the mid-20th century. Measures: 1' 11" x 8' 1" Turkish Rugs Carpets: 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. Whereas the Persian carpet can be divided into urban, village, and tribal types, in Turkey and its predecessor the Ottoman Empire, rugs almost exclusively came from village weavers and from a small number of urban workshops. Ninety percent village, nine percent city, one percent tribal. Turkish weavers have, with very few exceptions, always worked with the symmetric (Turkish) knot. Wool foundations are standard practice among both town and village weavers. The exceptions, very finely woven 20th century and recent Herekeh silks from near Istanbul, and early 17th century Ottoman Court rugs from Bursa, constitute only a tiny part of the total. Always pricey, they appealed and still appeal to the clients who want lots of knots and perfect execution instead of individual personality. The urban workshops have been centered around the western Turkish city of Oushak and its attendant port town of Smyrna. Oushak weaves with the trends in fashion. When color saturated medallion carpets were needed, Oushak was ready in the 17th and 18th centuries. When coarse red and blue carpets...
