Antique Oushak Allover Floral Yellow Hand-Knotted Runner – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB9211 3'7" × 14'8" $9,000

This antique Oushak runner from Turkey, dating to circa 1900, is hand-knotted in the Anatolian weaving tradition. Its long, narrow format suits circulation spaces, but the design has the same ease and refinement that makes antique Oushak rugs so enduring.

A warm yellow field provides the backdrop for an allover arrangement of oversized floral devices, scrolling vine connectors, and small botanical sprigs. The composition is deliberately open, with a softened trellis rhythm that keeps the runner visually light. Burgundy, terracotta, pale blue, ivory, and brown accents lend depth to the pattern, while the slim red border quietly contains the field without interrupting its flow.

The effect is decorative yet relaxed, offering movement instead of formality. With its faded palette and spacious drawing, this antique floral runner brings warmth, texture, and a lived-in patina to a hallway, entry, or gallery passage. It is a fine choice for interiors seeking the character of an antique Turkish rug with an airy, casual presence.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
