This elegant vintage runner hails from Oushak in Western Turkey, birthplace of oriental rug weaving traditions on the Anatolian plateau. Handwoven with wool on a wool foundation, it spans 2'11" x 12'9", making it an ideal choice for corridors and transitional spaces. The weaving villages of Anatolia maintained fiercely independent artistic traditions, with each community cultivating its own distinctive design language and color vocabulary that neighboring regions consciously avoided replicating. Celebrated in European fine art and prized by interior designers, these runners captivate through their striking geometric patterns rendered in sophisticated, muted tones—aesthetic qualities that continue to define their appeal in contemporary design schemes. 210138
