73891 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 04'03 X 09'06.

This hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak runner features three connected scalloped hexagonal medallions with floral pendants spread across an abrashed brick red field. A variety of traditional Anatolian symbols are scattered throughout the composition alongside graceful floral designs in an evocative and attractive manner. Rosettes, tulips, and fetters, which are thought to symbolize family union and devotion, decorate the centers of the medallions. The corner spandrels display a variety of floral motifs as well as hair band motifs, which are seen to represent the desire to get married. A sawtooth inner border accompanies a hair band and quatrefoil floret main border. The sumptuous abrashed brick red field and accents give a sense of exuberance to the otherwise mostly soft grays and pastel tones, creating a playful dynamic that highlights the array of designs. With its rich symbolism, cheerful color palette, and graceful composition, this vintage Turkish Oushak runner would enhance any space with charm and allure.
