Antique Oushak Turkish Floral Allover Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Runner – Circa 1930 (Fragment) BB8287 2'2" × 8'5" $4,000

A captivating vintage Turkish Oushak runner, hand-knotted circa 1930, this exquisite piece is a fragment of a larger carpet, reimagined into a graceful and decorative runner. Woven in soft wool, the rug carries the hallmark characteristics of classic Oushak craftsmanship: large-scale geometric motifs, delicate florals, and a mellow color palette that beautifully bridges traditional and modern interiors.

The rug’s central field is adorned with stylized rosettes and serrated leaf forms, arranged in a rhythmic pattern against a serene blue-green backdrop. Coral, ivory, soft gold, and terra cotta accents breathe warmth and vibrancy into the composition, while the floral vine motifs along the inner border introduce a sense of organic flow. The delicate abrashed tones (natural color variation) add depth and visual interest, reflecting the rug’s age and artisanal charm.

Though modest in size at approximately 9′ x 2′, this runner makes a striking impression in hallways, entryways, or as a unique decorative layer in layered rug arrangements. Subtle signs of age—including areas of wear—enhance its authenticity and vintage appeal.

Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
