4 x 9 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug 52413

52413 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 03'06 x 08'07.

This vintage Turkish Oushak rug runner beautifully exemplifies the rich tradition of Anatolian weaving. Its hand-knotted wool craftsmanship highlights an abrashed red field that serves as a vibrant canvas for three concentric latch-hooked medallions, each intricately adorned with Bereket fertility symbols. These medallions, masterfully rendered, symbolize growth and prosperity, a testament to the Oushak rug's deep cultural roots and the artisans' dedication to preserving heritage through textile art.

Surrounding the central medallions, the design incorporates hooked triangular ziggurat mounds that reach towards the center from the edges, enhancing the dynamic feel of the rug. These angular and powerful geometric shapes not only add depth and movement to the overall design but also reflect the tribal influences inherent in Oushak weaving traditions. The motifs, rich in symbolism, are carefully placed to create a harmonious balance within the runner, showcasing the weaver’s skill in combining form and function.

The vintage Turkish Oushak rug is elegantly framed by a tribal border comprised of repeating Bereket motifs, which further emphasize themes of fertility and abundance. This border is complemented by a simple yet elegant outer running water guard border, which encapsulates the design and adds a polished finish. Together, these elements make the Oushak rug not only a stunning decorative piece but also a bearer of cultural stories and symbolism, ideal for enriching any contemporary or traditional home decor.
